Project to be finished in spring of 2023.
Olmstead Park
Continuing the site renovation that started in 2019, the parks maintenance team will be removing the small baseball field backstop, foul line fencing, and concrete pads from the bleacher and bench areas. This will allow the team to complete replacement of the infield, expanding the turf area for youth soccer and increasing open use space.
Improvements to the entire open turf area will be completed in effort to improve drainage as well as provide a safer, more uniform playing surface.
We are looking to complete the improvements for program use this fall.
