This project is complete! Thank you for your support of the Pro Parks
Levy.
Genesee Playfield Phase #1 Construction was the first project to be completed
with funds from the Pro Parks Levy. Construction activities in the first
phase included converting field #2 from natural grass to an infilled synthetic
turf surface. Additional improvements include improved pedestrian pathways,
curb bulbs and a crosswalk to the north across S. Genesee St., safety fencing
on Field #1 and reconfiguration of the adjacent parking lot.
Phase 2, which included installation of a state-of-the art lighting system
for field #1 and #2 and landscape improvements, was completed in the summer
of 2003.
Funding is being sought for Phase 3, that will address the condition of
Field #1.
