FY2020 Budget

CIP Project:

Cedar Fork District Park Field Improvements

Project Category:

Parks & Recreation

Site:

Cedar Fork District Park-Aviation Parkway

Install irrigation and lighting improvements on fields and a second entry/exit point to make the site more functional, safe, and attractive for use by Town programs, rental groups, weekend tournaments and the general public.

Description:

Picture/Map:

Great opportunity in relation to other existing projects to enhance site access and is complimentary to the Crabtree Hatcher Creek Greenway. Project is in conjunction with the long term lease with Wake County. Staff is additionally working jointly with Wake County in conjunction with Convenience Center Expansion project on secondary access to the park. This project could be phased. Turf maintenance is problematic without sprinklers during dry weather conditions. These conditions have caused the Town to take fields out of service for extended periods while turf repairs are made. The requested irrigation systems will improve the turf quality, field safety and appearance. Installing lights would extend the amount of time fields are available. These fields could then be used for several sports, including supporting some weekend tournaments. These types of improvements are supported by the Master Plan.
