UPDATES

July 2009 - Because of the current water moratorium, this project has been postponed.

June 2008 - A planning committee has met to develop plans for the improvement and renovation of the athletic fields. A consultant was retained to work with the committee. A plan has been presented and has been approved by the Bond Implementation Planning Committee that will combine the budgets for the Athletic Field Improvements and Renovation and the Soccer Field projects. By combining these project budgets, improvements can be made to the track field and drainage improvements can be implemented for the baseball and softball fields that will meet the needs of all physical education programs, including soccer, within the combined original budgets of these projects.

August 2007 - Kitchell's Scott Colt met with the Director of of Athletics Gary Garabato, Baseball Coach Matt Gordon and Softball Coach Kelvin Chapman regarding the athletic field renovations. A review of the existing conditions and a scope of work for the baseball, softball, and practice fields was reviewed by the Committee with proposed solutions to water drainage issues. The men's and women's toilet facilities adjacent to the Softball Field were also part of the discussion.
