Lee County Athletic Park

Located near the heart of Sanford, North Carolina, Lee County Athletic Park is a regional athletic facility and community park. After recognizing the community’s need for more athletic fields, play spaces and green space to connect to nature, a parks and recreation bond was passed to fund construction of this 121-acre park. Through a community driven design process, the team arrived at a solution that features natural and synthetic turf multi-purpose fields and several baseball diamonds. These athletic facilities are accompanied by community park features, including picnic shelters, trails and play spaces. In collaboration with Lee County, our team worked through complex site challenges, including enhancing ecological functionality, site access through the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and mitigating the impacts on pre-existing utility infrastructure to develop a park that will serve the Lee County citizens for generations to come.
