This project involved a full playfield renovation including asphalt removal, installation of a new natural turf playfield, shade trees, walking loop, playground equipment, basketball courts, and a splash play area. New and upgraded site amenities will also be added, including lighting, benches, a shade structure, and trash receptacles.
