Tommy Schumpert Park gives people and their pets a place to play
|
The Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission  recently awarded Tommy Schumpert Park with an Award of Excellence. Merit Constriction completed construction of the 173-acre park in July 2009.
Named for former County Executive Tommy Schumpert, the park is located off Rifle Range Road just north of Fountain City. It includes three multi-purpose fields for football, soccer and other sports, a two mile cross country trail, a concession area, and a baseball field that is home to the Central High School Bobcats.
Another specia l feature of the park is the four-acre Pet Safe Dog Park, which gives our four-legged friends a safe environment to play off-leash. A large pond inside the dog park performs double duty, providing irrigation to nearby ballfields, as well as giving dogs a place to swim.
The park's master plan for phase two includes more parking lots, expanded soccer fields and a BMX bicycling track.
Merit has extensive experience in all types of building construction including masonry buildings, concrete buildings and conventional end users of office buildings, retail facilities, medical buildings and industrial facilities, as well as churches and educational facilities.
