Description First phase will implement field playability enhancements, safety improvements, and increased accessibility. The second phase will include new fence lines, shade structures and complex amenities. This includes the concession area, entrance and plaza area. Justification Hitchcock Design has been contracted to evaluate the complex for draining, safety and access priorities. Mercer Park Ball Diamond 1 is the premier large field in our system. It is used primarily by City High for varsity baseball and adult baseball league rentals. The proposed improvements will improve field drainage, player safety, and accessibility limitations.
