Lakemont Partnership, Blair County
This project was undertaken to convert sections of an amusement park into a large recreation park.
Several new features include a walking trail, an 18-hole mini golf course, two sand volleyball courts, four basketball courts, batting cages, a beer garden in an old bumper car ride pavilion, and a large outdoor area for programs and events were included.
Project Uniqueness/Challenges: The master plan for the park needed to accommodate/maintain the existing route used for the annual holiday “Lights on the Lake” drive thru light feature.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
