maintenance (Daily/weekly water testing, water turn off and shut off, winter prep, etc…) and this <br />should be considered. <br />Hill Neighborhood Park(5.4 acres): <br />1 U10/U12 Soccer Field (Unlighted) <br />1 Soccer/Baseball Combo (Unlighted) <br />1 Picnic Shelter <br />1 Half Court Basketball <br />Off Street Parking (38 spaces) <br />Analysis: <br />Based on the popularity of soccer, I recommend that this park include one ball field/soccer <br />combination field and one U10/U12 Soccer Field. In addition, it would be beneficial for one <br />playground to beon site for families to use during game/practices/activities. These fields would <br />be programmed and therefore, adding a small parking lot (25-30 spots) seems important. One <br />option shown isto include a half basketball court, as they are popular. <br />West Athletic Complex <br />2 Adult Softball Fields <br />1 Hockey Rink/Pleasure Rink <br />1 Warming House/Picnic Pavilion with Indoor Bathrooms <br />Off Street Parking (72spaces) <br />Analysis: <br />My recommendation would be to have an athletic complex located somewhere away from <br />neighbors due to the lighting. I recommend having two adult sized ball fields, a warming <br />house/picnic pavilion, a playground and appropriate parking. There may be a possibility that <br />parking could be shared with a business near the park, similar to Cummings Park. Adding a <br />nice facility like this could help draw more teams and also open up these fields for occasional <br />youth use.The standard size for adult softball fields is 300 feet from home plate. The proper <br />field size and lighting are major factors in teams playing in particular leagues. <br />Background/Analysis <br />BALL FIELDS AND SOCCER FIELDS <br />We currently have: <br />(5)Stand AloneBaseball/Softball Fields: <br />(3)Adult Softball Fields and (1) Youth Baseball Field (Perry) <br />Our adult softball leagues and some of our youth baseball/softball leagues are programmed on <br />Perry #1, #2, #3 regularly Sunday-Thursday.
