12/1/2020

The Lloyd Team is excited to announce that Gilbert Regional Lake Park opened on October 14th. The Town of Gilbert was granted a non-exclusive recreational use easement from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County, for approximately 225 acres of land to create a Sports & Recreational Park and Multi-Purpose Lake Park. Lloyd provided Program Management, Construction Management and served as Gilbert's onsite Engineer of Record for construction, inspection and code compliance during the last two years of development.

The Sports and Recreational Park development, completed September 2019, was 30 acres including the main access road, underground utilities, iconic playground facility, splash pad, a restroom building, temporary irrigation pond and pickle ball courts. The Multi-Purpose Lake Park includes the development of a 7 acre lake, 10 acre great lawn, corporate ramada, large amphitheater and over half a mile of pedestrian trail around the lake and great lawn. Sixteen pickle ball courts, 6 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts and 6 volleyball courts were also built inside the park. The lake is fully stocked for fishing and stores water for irrigation of the great lawn and surrounding landscape. The great lawn is designed for open air concerts and large gatherings.

The Town of Gilbert Sports and Recreational Park, completed September 2019, received three awards. The first was the 2020 Arizona Parks and Recreation Annual Awards, Outstanding Facility Award Populations Over 100,000. This award recognizes new construction of outstanding parks, recreation, and/or cultural facilities. The second was 2020 American Public Works Association Project of the Year Award, and the third was the 2020 ENRSouthwest Landscape / Urban Development Best Project.

"Lloyd Engineers has been an incredible partner to the Town of Gilbert and the Parks and Recreation Department. The work provided by their team on the Desert Sky Park and Gilbert Regional Park projects has been exceptional. Their ability to collaborate and perform with the best interest of the project made it feel as if we were working with another Town department. Their partnership is valued and the quality of their work is proven by the results seen at Desert Sky Park and Gilbert Regional Park."
