Lopez Canyon Park
Sylmar​, CA

Lopez Canyon Park, located in the hills of Sylmar, CA, provides access to the trails of the Angeles National Forest, for hiking and horseback riding alike.

The project consisted of creating new parking for the trail head, including spaces that are long enough to accommodate equestrian trailers, while maintaining the integrity of the hill. The site was designed to capture stormwater runoff in concrete swales and convey the water into two infiltration basins where the water will infiltrate back into the hill side.

Structural designs for building repurposing as well as miscellaneous footings and fence repairs. Electrical site design for new lighting and miscellaneous equipment connections.
