CITY OF HAMILTON: 
I managed planning, design and construction of this multi-multi-multi sports park on the Lake Ontario shoreline
(design by others) 
- 7 hectares, in a former campground, set amidst significant forest near the Lake Ontario shoreline 
- class-a cricket pitch (or 2 regulation soccer fields), with multi-use practice field; 
- 12 pickle ball courts (or 6 tennis courts, if/when pickleball gets played out) 
- cricket batting cages 
- a new field house with change rooms, offices, concessions and grand plaza (~900m2)
- a new parks depot and maintenance building (~450m2) 
- renovated campground gatehouse-to-washroom building (~200m2)
- a thematic playground
- way too much parking, imho
- 800m of new storm sewer to into Stoney Creek Pond
- 500m of grassed swale around pitch 
- 200m of LID/bioswales in parking lot 
- multi-year, multi-phase, multi-discipline, multi-stakeholder  
~ 20$million design and construction budget

CITY OF SASKATOON:
as a landscape designer, I designed a 6ha suburban neighbourhood sports park from concept through construction documents
this massive rock, a glacial erratic, was left here after the glaciers that once covered the area retreated at the end of the last ice age. as a marker of time and place, I designed the sports park around it. much cheaper to leave it there, in any case.
