On October 3rd, the City of Lake Forest received the Parks and
Recreation Project of the Year Award from the Los Angeles Section
of the ASCE (Associated Society for Civil Engineers) for the Lake
Forest Sports Park Complex in Lake Forest, California. “We would
like to congratulate the City of Lake Forest on its tenacity and
foresight on one of the most important community projects in Orange
County. It was a privilege to serve as construction manager on the
largest sports park in Orange County,” said Roger Torriero, CEO of
Griffin Structures.
Included within the 86-acre area, designed by RJM Design Group,
this state-of-the-art sports park also includes a
25,600-square-foot recreation center designed by Robert Coffee
& Associates in the center of the site. The building is sited
on a plateau overlooking the "park commons" and includes recreation
office space, a double gymnasium with a 2-over-1 basketball court
configuration, activity and dance rooms, a teen center, a computer
and homework center, and two meeting rooms, as well as a teaching
kitchen and restrooms.
The recreation center is designed to capture the pastoral
lineage of Lake Forest, integrating heavy timber porches, plaster
walls and stacked stone pillars. The building profile is defined by
a broad sloping roof gesturing toward Saddleback Peak in the
distance, and uses the materials and forms found in many of the
vernacular ranch buildings of the foothill area of the Saddleback
Valley. All rooms are oriented to the distant views to the south
and the west and have large porches leading out to the shaded
activity areas surrounding the building.
