Oroville’s Eastlake Ballfields

Category Overview

Local Parks grants help protect these symbols of vibrant communities, providing places for families to gather and play and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in an era when people spend increasing amounts of their time inside. The WWRP is the largest source of local parks funding in Washington, helping communities fund the acquisition, development, and renovation of vital recreation areas and green spaces.

Project Highlights

Phase II, the focus of this application, is intended to complete basic but critical components necessary to render the new ballfield facility playable. The components to be completed are: an additional backstop, portable pitchers mounds to provide for multi-generational play, fencing, parking, player benches, bleachers, water service, and a trail around the outer edge of the park. In summary, Phase ll is intended to complete development of the fields and other improvements so the fields can be fully utilized with fencing and the appropriate access and comfort amenities.
