The landscape architecture scope for the Simms Park Stormwater Capture project entails integrating underground stormwater infrastructure into a highly programmed urban municipal park. The existing natural turf fields will be replaced with state-of-the-art sports synthetic turf fields that will include striping for two minor league softball fields, 2 under-10 youth soccer fields, and one full size soccer field.
The site has the potential to provide significant water quality benefits for the watershed jurisdictions due to the significant drainage area size, location of the adjacent storm drain channel, and available development space. The drainage area for the project, 75acres, is entirely within the City of Bellflower.
