Project Summary

Staff propose hiring a professional services firm to comprehensively assess all outdoor athletic fields and ball diamonds and create a comprehensive improvement plan for athletic and ball field improvements and amenity upgrades. Based on community feedback received during the Elevate Elmhurst Parks process, there is strong demand for improved outdoor athletic fields and ball diamonds and although individual field improvement plans exist, staff recommend  improvements. The field assessment will include soil testing, inventory of amenities, drainage, etc. The improvement plan will help guide future capital planning and allow the District to meet the needs and expectations of the community. Staff propose funding this project with General Fund reserves.


This project falls under the Elevate Elmhurst Parks Priority of Invigorated Parks
