Pioneer Park Expansion
- Status
- Funded in 2005
The City of Connell has the opportunity to purchase additional property to expand Pioneer Park to develop two new softball fields and to enhance utilization of the existing swimming pool. The property is currently up for sale for residential development. The owner has agreed to wait to see if this project is funded prior to continuing with the sale. The project involves vacation and physical removal of a street and construction of two softball fields, parking, bleachers, pathways and expanded water oriented facilities including a larger slide and a splash area for smaller children. This expansion of Pioneer Park addresses the city's need for more ballfields and will enhance the water orientation of the park to better serve the North Franklin County residents.
