Upgrades to Legion Park Softball Diamond

in progress

- Remove existing backstop and dugout fencing and replace with new heavy duty chain link fencing and install safety covers over the dugout benches. - Remove existing electrical panel to be replaced with 125 amp, single phase, 12 circuit panel. - Install six-phase timer system with button function to turn the lights on for a specific amount of time. - Replace the equipment shed and utilize the building to house the electrical panel and timer. - Additional upgrades to the grandstand and fencing New wiring, panel and six-mode timer system will be installed. Timer will ensure lights can be turned off for evening events with automatic shut-off after three hours. Backstop and dugout fencing behind and above home plate will be removed and replaced with new infrastructure. Current fencing is aged, broken and poses public safety threat during sporting events. The Legion Park facility serves more than 500 youth and adults in our community each year who play softball, with leagues utilizing the facility six days a week from May to October. Upgrades will provide energy savings to the municipality and increase efficiency, improve public safety through upgraded infrastructure, meet the capital replacement requirements of the asset management plan and will allow more of the population to utilize the facility because of these upgrades.
