The scope of this project is to renovate an existing softball field at Skagit Playfields that has insufficient drainage and poor turf quality. This field has deteriorated to such a condition that it is playable several weeks less a year when compared to other fields in the immediate area. The renovation work will include a new drainage system, fencing, backstops, custom dugouts, and aggressive turf rehabilitation. We expect these changes to result in less missed games during the play season and improve the quality of the play environment. In addition we expect this renovated field to save the Parks and Recreation Department maintenance funds as the field often must be mowed in a time-consuming manner with hand mowers to prevent damage from tractor use. Finally, the improvement of this field will contribute economically to the community in tourism dollars generated on tournament weekends. Each year, Skagit Valley Playfields host a number of invitational and championship play softball tournaments that annually draw over 200 teams to Skagit County. Skagit Playfields Complex is part of an inter-local agreement signed in 1978 between Skagit County and Skagit Valley College. Skagit County Parks and Recreation uses this field for many of its youth camps, tournaments, and league games. Skagit Valley College schedules some practices there and has issued statements of support. The Skagit Valley Softball Association, a non-profit organization, has contributed financially to the project.
