Renovation of a recreation facility in Sumter, South Carolina. Completed plans call for the renovation of a two-story above grade recreation facility.

This project is a complete renovation of the existing Bobby Richardson Sports Complex, upgrading it to an elite level tournament facility. The scope consists of five synthetic turf baseball/softball fields including a Championship Field and a large synthetic turf Practice Field and two covered batting cages. Each field includes a scoreboard, batters eye, two dugouts, two bull pens, two sets of bleachers, a covered scorers table, field fencing, sports netting, and sports field lighting. A two-story concessions and restroom building with a wraparound porch adjacent to a central monument statue of Sumters own Bobby Richardson will serve as a hub along a primary pedestrian axis. An entry plaza will maintain flexible space for vendor tents, food trucks, and boast an entry pavilion that will double as a ticket booth and pick-up area shade structure.
