We are an active community and we like to have fun through play and friendship. Currently our community has a healthy problem - too many kids and adults wanting more recreational facilities.
PLAN To build fields, establish new green space, and connect the community. Our intention is to build sports and community amenities within the park to include approximately 4 soccer fields, 4 youth baseball fields and 4 softball fields with community areas for picnic and family gathering.
