In 1986, the non-profit organization, Youth Sports Incorporated, retained Landplan Engineering to develop the master plan for an 80-acre youth soccer and baseball complex. Additionally, Landplan Engineering provided construction documentation for Phase I of the project, which included several soccer fields and two baseball diamonds with associated site drainage and parking improvements. Because of the intensive use on the relatively flat topography, Landplan designed an extensive storm drainage system. This included perimeter swales with tile underdrains collecting water at a detention pond, which is then pumped into an adjacent creek by a lift station.

In 1990, the City of Lawrence retained Landplan Engineering to expand the master plan for the existing site and new lands to the north and south, totaling approximately 100 acres. Landplan’s master plan process involved site analysis, evaluation of existing facilities, alternate concept preparation, and compilation into the preferred Master Plan. As adopted by the City, this plan involved the addition of softball and baseball field complexes, parking improvements, soccer fields and concessions, for a total of nine baseball fields, four softball fields, 15 soccer fields, five football fields and approximately 1,000 parking spaces.

In 1993, the City of Lawrence retained Landplan to provide construction documentation and administration services for the first phase implementation of the new Master Plan. This work included the preparation of plans and specifications for improvements including two fenced baseball fields, site drainage, sidewalks and lighting for the two new and two existing ball fields.
