In 2009, Appel Osborne Landscape Architecture began the $5.5 million dollar new athletic stadium project at Lowville Academy & Central School. The athletic complex design included a multi-purpose synthetic turf field lined for football, soccer and lacrosse, as well as 4 new tennis courts, baseball and softball playfields, and a new basketball with color coat play surface for younger children. The complex surrounded by a retaining wall with padding on three sides of the facility. It includes new 1,000 seat bleachers and multiple plantings and beds around the building addition and at the new front entryways. The existing tennis courts were demolished to make way for a new parking lot which allowed the school to double the amount of parking. All pavements and drives around the school were redone as part of this project.
