Bombing Range Sports Complex Expansion
- Status
- Funded in 2000
This proposal is to acquire three 2.5 acre vacant parcels to expand the Bombing Range Sports Complex, West Richland’s most used park. Developed in phases by volunteers and the city, the complex currently has 17.5 acres, improved with two baseball fields, five soccer fields, one multi-purpose field, a playground area, and parking lot. This project will increase the complex to a total of 25 acres and help meet the growing demand for general park space as well as allow for more fields, organized sports and community events. On a typical day, more than 200 children use the park for games or practices. Due to space limitations, football and softball games cannot be held at the complex and soccer players must practice at other places that do not have drinking water or restrooms. Local support for the project is very strong. More than 70% of the local share of the project is from donations, including a land donation from the Tapteal Greenway Foundation. Although managed by West Richland, this project will also serve Benton City, Kiona and the entire Tri-Cities area.
