  • Irrigation is almost complete
  • Lighting is well underway and will be completed before winter
  • There will be a total of 64 lights along the asphalt park pathways every 30feet
  • The posts for the softball diamonds are in however softball fields will not be ready for use this year (due to grass not being ready)
