Transforming an 18-hole golf course into a nature-forward park requires innovative, yet functional infrastructure. At Ballantyne Reimagined's Stream Park, we coordinated across six specialized disciplines to implement infrastructure improvements, including stormwater management, stream restoration, utility relocation, and bridge design.
Such an amazing and integral piece of the overall vision for Ballantyne Reimagined and The Bowl. So glad 505Design at Cooper Carry / Cooper Carry could contribute to LandDesign's Stream Park team!

Due to permit delays and unsettled mountain weather this week, construction work around the Sheep Pens area and the Lytton Fan, for Phase 2 of the Van Norden Meadow Restoration Project, is cancelled for this year and postponed to fall of 2025.
We are making this decision with an abundance of caution, knowing that the summit can be unforgiving after mid-October. With high elevation restoration projects like the Van Norden Meadow Restoration Project, we don’t start a project unless we are sure that we can finish it by 10/15, knowing that every day after 10/15, we have a significant risk of a snowstorm. Despite the setback, we know that this is the right decision as it will ensure that the implementation of Phase 2 rolls out smoothly in 2025.
For the remainder of the 2024 season, tree work will continue around the meadow edge and adaptive management work will commence on the east side of the meadow. We anticipate continuing tree thinning and removal for the rest of September and into October 2024.
