About Tower Park Athletic Complex
The Tower Park Athletic Complex at Highlands High School was redesigned to create a modern, regulation-ready track and field facility that better serves students, athletes, and the Fort Thomas community. The project addressed long-standing site challenges, including limited parking for students and visitors, a lack of seating and accessible access to the field, and a non-regulation track. Viox & Viox provided civil engineering and land surveying services to help transform the existing athletic complex into a more functional and accessible space.
Civil engineering services included site grading, utility coordination, stormwater detention and water quality design, erosion control planning, and roadway relocation design. The project also incorporated a reconfigured field and track layout, expanded parking areas, improved site access, and the addition of a new fieldhouse with seating. As part of the overall site improvements, Army Reserve Road was reconstructed as a public street and Sergeant Avenue was relocated to improve circulation and access. Extensive grading and earthwork were required throughout the site to manage elevation changes and support the new layout.
Surveying services included a topographic survey, boundary survey, land division to redivide property lines between the City of Fort Thomas and the school, right-of-way dedication plats, easement exhibits for utility relocations, and as-built surveys for sanitary and storm sewer systems to support project completion and SD1 compliance. Additional surveying support was also provided for off-site sanitary sewer extension areas.
Our team worked closely with the client, architect, and consultants throughout the design process to coordinate phasing, permitting, and site constraints, delivering a complete transformation of the site into a safer, more accessible, and community-focused athletic facility.
“This project presented a great opportunity to stretch the limits of civil design and transformed the site into a more functional and accessible space for the community. It was very rewarding to be a part of.”
