Civic Sports Fields Renovation
Description:
This project will renovate and expand a former 1970's era elementary school sports field facility, now owned by the City, to meet diverse community needs. It will result in an 8 acre community park with lighted synthetic turf fields, fencing, a fitness trail with exercise stations, a basketball court and playground. The project is designed to complement the adjacent City community center, provide safe access to Wilmot Gateway park, and provide trail access between downtown Woodinville and the regional Samammish River Trail. Woodinville's Parks Recreation and Open Space Plan has documented the deficit of sports fields, playgrounds, trails, and basketball courts within the service area. School facilities in the area have limited availability for community programs or adult use; land costs for acquisition and development are prohibitive. These City-owned fields, used extensively by Little League, youth soccer, and various recreation camps, are limited by poor field surface conditions; lack of lighting; damaged or obsolete equipment such as fencing, backstops, and bleachers; poor ADA access; lack of drinking fountains and covered dugouts; and seasonal closures required by grass surfacing. Due to downtown location and existing infrastructure, a field inventory has concluded that this project is cost effective and will increase the hours of community field use from 3,004 to 6,456. Additional components add community wide benefits so that the facility functions as a community park in the heart of downtown Woodinville.
