MEMORIAL PARK IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS

Stanley Design Group was hired to provide irrigation design and planning for the 24-acre north half of Memorial Park in downtown Rapid City.  The design challenge included working with the Parks Department maintenance personnel and administrators to develop an irrigation solution that would not only irrigate this high-use park but be maintainable by the city’s crews.  In addition, the design program indicated that the irrigation system be able to be sectioned off during events.  Specific design tasks included laying out and sizing mainline valves and laterals, selecting turf rotors, and working with the contractor to determine watering schedules.
