pLANTATION OAKS

A two-story classical antebellum-style clubhouse anchors the nearly 40-acre Plantation Oaks Park site, which features various aquatics and sports facilities. Designed to provide a dynamic recreational amenity and to preserve and celebrate the site’s unique natural character, Plantation Oaks Park has become the social and recreational hub of an 11,000-resident community.

Located amidst a canopy of mature live oaks and a Loblolly Pine forest, Plantation Oaks Park is the second major amenity in the Oakleaf neighborhood. ELM’s design for the park included the Plantation Oaks Club; a major pool and aquatics facility; a “tennis garden” with eight courts and pro shop; a playground; basketball courts; baseball fields; trails; and a lakefront pavilion. The pool and aquatics area features a 9,000-square-foot lagoon pool with zero entry feature; a 28-ft. dual water slide with tunnel flume and open flume; a children’s spray ground with tilting bucket; and a poolside concessions building. The ELM team also participated in the later expansion for the park, creating an eight-lane competition lap pool and associated restroom and pavilion structures.
