Custer Field Renovation
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project in Skagit County improves an existing softball field at Skagit Playfields (Custer Field) that has insufficient drainage, poor turf quality, and no lighting. The renovation work will include leveling, adding a sand layer, drainage, fencing, backstops, dugouts, and installation of field lighting. The county expects these changes to increase the length of the playing season and improve the quality of the play environment. The renovation will save maintenance costs as well as allowing more efficient tractor mowers to be used. Additionally, the improvement of this field will contribute economically to the community in tourism dollars generated on tournament weekends. Skagit Playfields Complex is part of an inter-local agreement signed in 1978 between Skagit County and Skagit Valley College. This project is supported and utilized by a number of organizations. Skagit County Parks and Recreation uses this field for many of its league games and Skagit Valley College schedules several levels of collegiate play there. The Skagit Valley Softball Association, a non-profit organization, has offered $75,000 in support.
