Nesra Specializes in Athletic Facility Design. Below are some of our most recent projects:

Leary and Yetten Fields (MA)
New Multipurpose Football Field, Track, Multipurpose Baseball Field and Soccer Field

In 2020, Nesra Engineering, LLC. was
asked to perform a feasibility study and
master plan at Yetten and Leary Fields in
Waltham MA. Record plan information
was obtained, aerial drone photos were
taken, and two schematic design renderings
were created and provided to the City. Our
Design was based on the site size and
surrounding community needs. Nesra
proposed new multi-use fields at both
locations, new Stadium that will sit 1,500
spectators, as well as a new locker room,
restrooms, and concessions building.
Currently, the project is in design phase
and the estimated cost is over 10 million.
