The Meadowbrook Playfield Renovation Project is complete!
New fencing and backstops are up and the final paving will be done in September
2004. Fields #2 and 3 will remain closed until February 2005 to allow for
establishment of the turf grass. Ballfield #1, which was unaffected by the
renovation work, will be open during 2004.

| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
Scope of Work
The following list constitutes the majority of improvements and/or renovations
being implemented with Pro Parks Levy dollars for ballfields #2 and #3:
- demolition of current systems,
- grading of field surfaces and installation of new soil,
- installation of new drainage and irrigation systems,
- replacement of fencing fabric and installation of safety fencing along
Play Area interface,
- replace infield surfacing,
- recommendations for turf analysis,
- utility connection for Ballfield #1
Next Steps
Pro Parks funds were insufficient for proper renovation of all three ballfields
at Meadowbrook. Parks Steering Committee directed the Project team to focus
on completing the improvements for Ballfields #2 & #3. We have applied,
unsuccessfully for an IAC Grant in 2003 to provide funds for the renovation
of ballfield #1. Parks will continue to pursue additional funding for the
full renovation of field #1. |

Public Involvement
Three public meetings were held for the Meadowbrook Playfield Project
starting in September 2002 and extending into December 2002. The main
objective of the public process was to work with the community on prioritizing
design elements and to work towards collaborative funding approaches for
various aspects of the Meadowbrook Playfield Projects.
