Roberts Park

Thomas Township was awarded a DNR Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant and DNR Trust Fund grant to help make improvements to Roberts Park, located along Miller Road.

Spicer Group assisted the township with grant administration, designing, bidding the project and construction administration on both grant projects.

The first portion of the project consisted of designing the layout, grading requirements, irrigation plans, and drainage for three regulation size soccer fields.

The second portion of the project consisted of developing a parking lot, barrier-free pathways and other park amenities like picnic tables and grills.

Spicer Group also designed a large pavilion, two small pavilions, an entry arch with decorative entry gate, roadway within the park and accessing the park, fencing, guard posts, two barrier gates, a detention pond, decorative stone columns and relocating existing volleyball courts.

The pavilions are pre-manufactured structures with a concrete pad and grills. The large pavilion is 40 feet by 80 feet in size and the two smaller pavilions are 16 feet by 16 feet in size.

A sledding hill was also created from the extra soil on the site from the construction.
