Marshbank Park: West Bloomfield, MI

When West Bloomfield Township decided to rebuild Marshbank Park they hired Commercial Contracting Corporation to act as a General Contractor, overseeing the entire project.

Funded in part by a grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust fund, this $5 million, 100‐acre park was to be built using the newest methods and materials in sustainable development. The park consists of three buildings, two baseball fields, a soccer field, walkways, boardwalks, floating pier, roadways, and multiple parking lots – all to be built and designed keeping the surrounding watershed, wildlife, and land in mind.

Managing a project like Marshbank can be complicated and every facet of the job must be watched to make sure the proper materials are being used where they should be. Whenever possible, renewable concrete and manufactured stone surfaces were used. Porous asphalt paving, rain gardens and bioswales were all used to help with stormwater management. The park was landscaped with native plant species to not only maintain a natural environment, but one that is low maintenance as well. All aspects of the Park were designed to be efficient and nondisruptive.

Marshbank Park highlights CCC’s commitment to “green” construction and sustainable development.
