University of Oregon PK Park

Stylistically the facility reflects the culture of athletics at the University of Oregon, as well as provides an aesthetic that is particular to the game of baseball and to the Pacific Northwest region.

Overland Park Soccer Complex
This new youth soccer complex has exceeded all expectations from players and fans since it held its inaugural tournament in September 2009. DLR Group designed the facility as one of premier soccer facilities in the country with fields and amenities that make it a favorite in the U.S.
Twelve competition fields make up the complex, each with lighting and artificial turf so play can continue and rain delays don’t affect tournaments. 24 youth size fields can also be configured to accommodate local recreation play.
In addition to the twelve competition fields, this complex features Soccer Central, located adjacent to the Championship Field. It includes a grandstand, a 16,000 SF, 2-story Fieldhouse, the Great Lawn, and The Pavilion.
Outside is large outdoor canopied pavilion where team events and medal ceremonies can be hosted and shade and rain protection be provided. The great lawn can be used as kick around areas, a vendor midway, or festivals.
The complex was awarded the Capstone Award for Community Impact from the Kansas City Business Journal in 2010.
