The Track and Field Improvement project at Fernando Rivera Intermediate School revitalized a deteriorated athletic field to better support physical education and student recreation. The existing field suffered from uneven grading, poor drainage, and extensive gopher damage, resulting in typically unusable conditions.

​

The school’s goal was to create a simple, durable, and cost-effective field that would meet daily physical education needs and accommodate informal student sports. The project scope included:

​

• New Natural Turf Field: Installation of new sod over properly regraded subgrade to provide a safe, level playing surface suitable for soccer and general recreation.

• Irrigation System: Implementation of a new irrigation system to support healthy turf growth and long-term field maintenance.

• Decomposed Granite (DG) Track: Construction of a low-maintenance DG track surrounding the field to accommodate running, walking, and PE activities.

• Landscape Enhancements: New planting along the street frontage to improve the school’s curb appeal.
