sized fields
» Improves safety considerations by reducing the
number of softball fields and having play occur
behind spectators
» Installation of drain tile in the outfields to reduce
flooding/ponding that is occurring today
» Addition of a centralized plaza and shelter to
support recreational field use
» Creation of new parking to support field
programming, as well as Orono Park
» Retains flexibility for potential long term change
with adjacent land uses

Phasing
Minor investment in safety netting at DAAC
1 - Rectangle fi elds at YAC
(Allows for removal of existing YAC and OKAC fi elds)
2 - Softball Fields at YAC
(Allows for removal of DAAC fi elds and add grass at OKAC)
3 - Baseball Complex at OKAC
(Keep DAAC fi elds for baseball capacity while under construction? ISD timing?)
4 - Removal of Softball Fields at DAAC
(Could happen earlier with coordination: use of ISD/LJW fi elds, adult softball)
Potential Variables:
-Other projects
(parks & development)
-Budget
-Coordination with ISD
-Fairgrounds
