Ford Heights Baseball

Upland Design assisted the Ford Heights Park District with their first capital project by leading the design team and guiding both staff and meeting multiple grant requirements. So that the new field would support games for a variety of ages, multiple base locations and a moveable mound were included. The field was carefully positioned away from a utility easement with wood poles while still keeping optimum orientation for the players.
