Forest Park Aquatics - Parking Lot Construction

The Noblesville Parks and Recreation Department (Noblesville, Indiana) commissioned Lehman & Lehman to design a parking lot expansion adjacent to the Aquatic Center in Forest Park. The goal of the project was to increase parking space to accommodate the large number of people who visit the pool and nearby baseball field during the summer months. The new 80-car asphalt parking lot was built in an open area that once served as overflow parking. To reduce runoff and protect against pollutants, the center parking bays were constructed with permeable concrete pavers. Below are photos of the construction process – from pre-construction to completion, with the most recent photos first.
