Using this grant, the city will install poles, concrete, and wiring as well as refurbish the area around the poles. The park began as a volunteer effort and since 1994, more than $187,000 in local donations, $340,000 in volunteer support, and grants totaling $323,000 have provided a complex that is valued at more than $2 million. The park hosts soccer, baseball, and softball teams from T-ball to semi-pro. Washington State University provides the only baseball park with regulation lighting in the county.
