Gateway Engineers was honored to be a part of the groundbreaking ceremony for Neshannock Township’s Pearson Park Phase II – a significant step toward enhancing the community spaces of Neshannock Township.

The groundbreaking, which took place on February 28^th, marks the continuation of a transformative journey for the park, which includes construction of a brand-new park office building, restrooms, state-of-the-art pickleball courts and expanded trail connections.

Gateway Engineers is providing engineering services throughout the construction process for the park upgrades including pickle ball court design, new and updated trail connections, grading, drainage utility coordination and structural engineering.

When asked about Gateway’s involvement, Township Supervisor Leslie Bucci said, “As a supervisor at Neshannock Township, I have been blessed to work with a team of professionals at Gateway Engineers who see and hear our vision for Pearson Park’s Master Plan. Their innovative ideas and engineering have helped make our vision for our park come to fruition!”

Gateway Engineers would like to recognize Strategic Solutions for their consulting services and support, Wildman Chalmers Design for providing architectural design services, and Caplan Engineering Company for their electrical engineering services.

Jim Naret, project manager at Gateway added, “It’s been a privilege being a part of a team of professionals sharing a common vision, resulting in a project the entire community of Neshannock Township can be proud of.”

Construction is expected to be completed this summer and will occur concurrently with a complete renovation to the park’s Hutchison Community Center and the construction of a new Park Maintenance Building.
