Monthly Update on Daily Maintenance of Current Park Facilities
Athletic Fields: The summer athletic season is full of end-of-the-year tournaments, clinics, and team tryouts opening up the athletic fields for rentals to the general public.
Skinner Sports Complex: Several games from the World Series baseball tournament were played as the final event this June at the Skinner Sports Complex. The baseball fields have been shut down for July to level the foul areas, add top dressing with materials to the infields, aerate the outfields, and water the fields for new growth. The planter beds have been updated with new perennial flowers and rock moss boulders to highlight the entrance leading into baseball. Irrigation audits took place to make sure an appropriate water schedule could be put in place.
McKnight East: The planter beds have been updated with new perennial flowers and rock moss boulders by the pavilions. Irrigation audits and repairs were made including replacing 3 valves, replacing damaged heads, and adjusting the water schedule to compensate for the lack of rain and high temperatures. Concrete pads will be installed soon under the shade structures and for new benches and trash cans to be installed.
*General Maintenance meaning = Mowing, edging, blowing trails/dugouts, trash runs, cleaning restrooms
Community Parks: The summer season has filled the parks full of participants playing on amenities, renting park pavilions, running in 5k races, playing tennis and other sports, as well as several people taking advantage of the splash pad to cool off from the many days that have been over 100 degrees.
Clayton W. Chandler Park: Azaleas were added by the sidewalk area that led into the park. The planter bed has been updated with new perennial flowers and rock moss boulders to highlight the entrance. The pond was treated for weeds and algae. The volleyball courts received an upgrade with 40 yards of fresh sand added.
