Pioneer Park Field Lighting
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Aberdeen Parks & Recreation Department will use this grant to install field lights and a new electrical system to four baseball and softball fields. A major winter storm last year wiped out all of the Pioneer Park field lighting. During the storm, two poles broke 15 feet above ground, other poles shifted in the ground, and 10 poles require total replacement. Of the 186 light fixtures, 184 are no longer operable, and all of the transformers and underground wiring are unsafe. Due to the magnitude of the damage, the current system has been abandoned. This project will replace the field lights at the Little League field, the Babe Ruth Field, and two softball fields. The city also will install the underground infrastructure to add capacity to light the remaining three fields. Funding partners include the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Grays Harbor Public Utilities District, and the local Little League and Babe Ruth leagues. The city will contribute $630,675 in cash, equipment, labor, a federal grant, and donations of cash and equipment. (08-1648)
