We partnered with Glenn County and Willdan Engineering on a design-build project at Willows Memorial Park, creating a unique nature themed play space.

The Challenge

During the Willows Memorial Park Project, we encountered a challenge with the original design's inverted slab, which featured a 0.05% flow direction for general drainage. This caused the finished grade to vary from 3.5 inches to 6 inches.

Our Solution

To address the varying finished grade thickness and ensure safety compliance at Willows Memorial Park, we consulted the county to have a wedge layer of pervious concrete atop the inverted slab. This allowed for us to install a uniform 3.5" surfacing system that met ASTM standards and maintained proper drainage. This solution preserved the existing drainage system and minimized project change orders, effectively resolving the initial design challenges.

As a former elementary school teacher for nearly a decade and as the son of an early childhood professor, I'm fully aware of the importance of play in the development of the youth in our communities across Northern California. Children develop socially, emotionally and physically when interacting with welcoming parks and recreation spaces. Being able to see a family enjoy a park that I helped design and see through to construction is the most rewarding aspect of my job. It's a special moment experiencing one of our new park's grand opening events and seeing all the hard work come to fruition.
