Valparaiso needed a modern venue to replace aging pickleball facilities slated for removal at Kirchhoff Park and maintain access to one of the nation’s fastest-growing recreational activities. As part of the City’s Replay Initiative, six new courts were created at ValPLAYso Park on Glendale Boulevard, branded as the Pickle Plex by Valpo Parks. Our role was to deliver a high-quality, durable facility that expands opportunities for players of all ages and strengthens the community’s park system.

KEY CONTRIBUTIONS:

Surveying
We established accurate site benchmarks and grading through precise surveying to set the foundation for design and construction.

Civil Engineering
We developed efficient site plans and grading solutions to ensure proper drainage, accessibility, and long-term durability of the courts.

Landscape Architecture
We designed complementary landscaping to enhance aesthetics and integrate the courts seamlessly into ValPLAYso Park.

Construction Documentation
We prepared comprehensive construction documents that met the City of Valparaiso’s design requirements and supported a transparent public bidding process.

Project Management
We coordinated across disciplines to deliver the project under budget and on schedule, ensuring the courts opened in time for summer 2025 use.
