Gradin Community Sports Park Phase 2

Coming in 2025

The City is adding two new softball fields, two new soccer fields, and an amenity plaza to complete the vision of the sports park that began more than two decades ago.

The project will also finish paving the gravel parking lot and walking paths.

This winter the soil will be prepared for planting grass, trees and plants in early spring. The park is scheduled to be open to the public in summer 2025.
