Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for Daniel J. O’Neill Sports Complex in Honesdale, Pennsylvania.
The Client
Honesdale High School is part of Wayne Highlands School District in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. The Daniel J. O’Neill Sports Complex is a home venue for Honesdale Hornets athletics.
The Challenge
The rebuild required coordinating new playing surfaces and field equipment with access to the complex’s existing bleachers and field houses.
Construction Process
The stadium rebuild project involved several phases, beginning with the installation of a drainage system for storm management. Next a newly constructed stone sub-base was laser-graded before the installation of synthetic turf.
Keystone installed synthetic turf with a thatch zone, ensuring a high-quality playing surface for their student athletes. Additionally, newly paved asphalt walkways were installed around the complex, connecting the new turf fields with the existing bleachers and field houses, and the athletic complex received new perimeter fencing around the playing areas.
Notable additions to the baseball and softball fields included brand-new backstops, dugouts, a batting tunnel, and new electronic score boards. The project also included the installation of a new electronic digital scoreboard for the multi-surface stadium field along with removable goal posts for football games.
