Camp Romaca Gymnastics Gym Design
Camp Romaca, located in the beautiful hills of northwestern Massachusetts,
The Gym Design Plan
This facility includes:
• 42×42 spring floor
• 5 competition balance beams
• 1 competition uneven bars, a single bar/strap bar
• 30′ Tumbl Trak
• 2 competition vaulting horses
• 6×12 us string bed trampoline w/ overhead spotting rig
• resi pits for the vault, uneven bars, and beams
• deep foam pits for the bars, beams, vaulting tables, Tumbl Trak, and spring floor
After considering the number of kids this facility must accommodate while also minimizing construction costs, we settled on a 5500 square foot building in which to complete the gymnastics gym design. The most notable feature is the open air design permitting gymnasts to experience the beautiful natural surroundings and cool breezes while training. This facility is, by far, one of the most exquisite in this country with its rustic all-wood construction and paneled ceilings.
What follows is a series of before and after pictures showing all the pits and foundation work. As you’ll see, asphalt, rather than concrete, is used in certain areas to reduce building costs and to better endure cold northern winter climate conditions.
Pictured right are before and after images of the beam area. The pit to the right is for a resi mat and the back pit for the deep foam pit. Two beams have access to the resi, one beam for the deep foam and three beams having a hard landing surface.
