Project Description

Edwards Construction Group is currently pursuing the Veterans Memorial Park & Faraday Ave Improvements project for the City of Carlsbad.

SCOPE OF WORK

The Veterans Memorial Park Project will establish a vibrant new community park spanning approximately 93.7 acres. The park will feature extensive site improvements, the preservation of natural habitats, and designated areas for habitat mitigation. Off-site right-of-way enhancements are also planned to improve accessibility and support surrounding infrastructure. The Faraday Avenue Improvements Project is being bid in conjunction with the Veterans Memorial Park Project. With the addition of the new park, pedestrian and bicycle activity along Faraday Avenue is expected to increase. This project will enhance mobility and access to the park, help manage vehicle speeds, and create a safer, more inviting environment for all modes of travel along the park frontage.

Key features of the park include:

• 2,672 square feet of park service buildings
• A 76,294 square foot bike park
• An 11,651 square foot outdoor exercise area
• 38,951 square feet of playgrounds
