Pioneer Park Field Lighting

WWRP Applicant: Aberdeen Parks & Rec Dept
RCO Project Number: 08-1648
County: Grays Harbor 
Legislative District: 19th 
WWRP Category: Local Parks
WWRP Grant: $500,000
Applicant Match: $630,675
Project Type: Development

Description:

The scope of this project includes installing field lights and new electrical service to 4 baseball and softball fields. During the first week of December, 2007, the City of Aberdeen experienced a major windstorm event that wiped out all of our Pioneer Park field lighting system. During the storm, we had 2 poles break off about 15ft above ground. Other poles shifted in the ground and are in need of re-setting and an additional 10 poles require total replacement. 184 out of 186 light fixtures are no longer operable and all of the transformers and underground wiring have been "red-tagged" by the electrical inspector. Due to the total magnitude of the damage, we have abandoned the current system. This project will replace the field lights at the Little League field, the Babe Ruth Field and two softball fields with modern steel poled lighting systems. We will also install the underground infrastructure to add capacity to light the remaining 3 fields. Funding partners include FEMA, the Grays Harbor PUD and the local the Little League and Babe Ruth leagues.
