Enumclaw Field Improvements

Status
Funded in 2011
WWRP Applicant: City of Enumclaw WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $300,000 Applicant Match: $600,000 Project Type: Development County: King  Legislative District: 31st 

Enumclaw will use this grant to convert a 60-year-old sports field into a modern, multi-sports field with artificial turf. The field, known as Pete's Pool, was once the King County Fairgrounds Stadium and is the oldest football field in the state. The City will excavate the existing turf and soil, install a drainage system and artificial turf with football and soccer markings, update the visitor bleachers, replace the goal posts, install soccer goals, and put in accessible pathways to and around the field. The City also will make the parking lot accessible for people with disabilities. The field has poor drainage and turns into a muddy swamp by mid-season. There is no other artificial turf or lighted fields in the Enumclaw School District, which serves an area of more than 25,000 people. Enumclaw Field is the home field for high school and youth football teams. The City will contribute $600,000 in staff labor, local and private grants, and donations of cash, labor, and materials.

RCO Project Number: 10-1410
