Thank you to all who attended the public meeting on July 27, 2011. To view the overview of the project and meeting notes please see below.

The renovation will replace the existing all weather sand/silt field with synthetic turf to provide adult soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, softball, pony league baseball, and football. It will also improve ADA accessibility and replace the existing field lights with more energy efficient, neighborhood friendly lighting.

Parks is working with a lighting consultant and as with all lighting replacement projects it is Parks’ goal to eliminate as much objectionable glare and light spill into the neighborhood sky as possible, while providing safe and efficient lights.

Project Description

The intent of this project is to improve the playing conditions and increase the amount of scheduled playing time for athletic events at this field by converting existing all-weather athletic field to synthetic turf and replacing the field lights.

When the field is complete it will accommodate two softball/pony baseball fields, one adult soccer pitch, one men's lacrosse field, one women's lacrosse field, two Ultimate Frisbee fields, and football ten yard lines.
