Game Farm Park Soccer Field Renovation
Description:
The project scope is to renovate the two existing "all-weather " cinder/clay fields at Game Farm Park into all weather synthetic turf product fields. The current conditions are sub-standard and overall non-performing. The fields were built in the 1980's as part of a Land and Water Conservation Funding grant. The site is located on 143 acres of Game Farm Park a regional park in Auburn.The area being renovated is on the north half of the site and provides active and passive recreation.The proposed renovations will include a design for removal of the existing cinder/ clay fields, grading, drainage, paving and grass. Installation of two synthetic product fields will improve play, safety and allow longer use of the fields to meet the need for additional soccer field use as identified in the 2005 Auburn Parks, Recreation & Open Space plan. The U.S. Census says that 29% of Auburn's 40,000 population is youth, 19 years of age and younger. The Auburn Parks Plan notes that soccer fields are deficient to support local community groups including the Auburn user groups that currently travel to Tukwila for games and practices due to the limited soccer fields located in Auburn. Also as part of the growing user groups our local hispanic population are requseting more soccer time on the local Auburn fields. With the new design, the fields will provide 3-4 times the hours of available playing time for local users and will reduce traveling to areas out side of the city.
