Park features to include a multi-use field built to meet NCAA Division 2 standards (approx. 100,000 SF) with a new field house building (appx. 3,300 SF [reduced from the initially proposed 7,200 SF building]) to include locker rooms, office, training room, storage space, concessions, public handicap accessible multi-use restrooms and family toilet room. The existing basketball court will be rehabilitated with new surfacing, striping and equipment.

The existing inclusive playground constructed in 2018 will be relocated and include additional climber play equipment.
