                         CURRENT/UPCOMING PROJECTS
Major improvements have begun on the men's restroom. The old cracked floor has been removed and replaced. The plumbing has been greatly improved, a 2nd toilet has been added, the old sink has been replaced, and the wall boards have been replaced.

Work has begun on a new concession stand.  stay tuned.
We are also interested in finding a landscape contractor/company who would be interested in doing some beautification projects in the park in exchange for some advertisement.  There are a lot of people who use the park during the summer months, and a few well placed signs among the landscaping could mean a boost to your business.  If you are interested in this opportunity please CONTACT US.

1)We have got to do some cleanup.  The recent ice storm has caused some damage to a few of our trees and we need to cut up and clean up a bunch of limbs. UPDATE: Lion Brad Konija brought out a backhoe to perform some heavy duty cleanup. We also utilized some community service individuals to clean up brush and limbs. All that is left is to burn the piles of brush.

2)We also need to backfill alongside the new sidewalks with the pile of dirt that is down beside the dumpster.  We want to backfill and slope the dirt out far enough to be able to run the mower over the walks (without damaging the blades) in order to eliminate the need to weed-eat along the walks. UPDATE: The sidewalks have been backfilled by the fine folks at "Especially Gardens"

3)We also need to try and finish up the dirt work on the new diamond, and get it ready for use.  UPDATE: We would like to thank "EARTH RESOURCES" for leveling out the dirt and creating the outfield mound on the new diamond. They also graded out some additional parking spaces down near the dumpster area and added some stone.  All that is left to do on the new diamond is the finish work and grass seeding.

4)We will also be removing the little hill behind the backstop on diamond
#1 in order to promote better run off and drainage of this diamond.  The water on this diamond always seems to accumulate around home plate and down the first base line.  We feel that we can eliminate this problem with very little work.

5)Improve the bathrooms.  Update: The womens restrooms have been completely remodeled. New floor, new plumbing, 3rd toilet, and new divider walls, and new soap dispenser.

6) Improve the Volleyball area.  Update: We have outlined the volleyball court using a sod cutter to clean up the edges to improve asthetics.  We have also brought in 2 dump truck loads of sand to top off the pit.

7) We have installed a drinking fountain of the side of the bathrooms.
