Legacy Park Track and Field Master Plan
Decatur, Georgia
Breedlove Land Planning is leading the design of this joint venture project between the City of Decatur and City Schools of Decatur for a new 400 meter 8-lane track and field and a 1,600-sf. field house. The configuration of the track reflects a collegiate layout. Synthetic turf will be used as the field material, with striping for 70×110 yard soccer and other recreational sports. Six restrooms, light concessions, office space, and storage are all placed in the proposed field house. Access into the existing gymnasium is redesigned to become ADA compliant. In addition, access down to the track and field and circulation from the proposed field house to the existing gymnasium provide an ADA accessible route. The existing gymnasium will be renovated for restrooms and shared storage space between the City of Decatur and the City Schools of Decatur. The improved cross-country trail will be separated from the track and field by steep topography and prairie grasses. In all, the project focuses on establishing a shared track and field facility with meaningful circulation and amenities, while preserving the unique character of Legacy Park Decatur.
