Changes are coming to Community Park! Work is currently underway on an extensive $8 million rehabilitation project to reinvest in the future of Community Park. The long-term improvement plan will include three phases of work over the next two years to improve turf conditions on all ball fields, enhance the overall appearance of the park, and create additional parking within the facility.
A major project highlight includes revamping all six ball fields by replacing the artificial turf in the outfields and converting all infields to artificial turf. Another project highlight includes expanding the existing parking lot by paving the grass area located at the southwest corner of the park near the Eucalyptus and McCoy Loop trailhead to accommodate additional parking. Exterior repair work and repainting will also be performed on existing buildings, infrastructure, and fencing.
Current Phase: Phase 3 (September 2023 - Summer 2024)
- Revamping ball fields five and six
- Installing a new water bottle refill station near the snack bar
- Repairs and improvements to park landscaping
- Investigating the feasibility of replacing and installing new LED lighting on all ball fields
- Investigating the feasibility of replacing and installing new digital LED scoreboards
- Resurface and restripe the existing parking lot*
- Expansion of the existing parking lot*
*Construction for the parking lot will begin in April 2024
Closures
- Fields 5-6 will be unavailable for community use from November 6, 2023 - February 2, 2024
