The Parks and Recreation Department relies upon and receives tremendous
support from a variety of community and civic organizations. Two
recent facility improvement projects were completed as a result of the
generosity of several of these groups:
 |
Two new
LED scoreboards (pictured left) were installed at Hackberry Park on
Fields #1 and #2. The new boards are wireless and offer numerical
'balls, strikes, and outs'. The LED boards are also much more
visible
during day games. Thank you to Wahoo Diamond Sports
Association (WDSA)
for their contribution towards the purchase of one of the boards.
Another
project
continuing at Hackberry Park is the construction of a new maintenance,
storage building near Field #4. The concrete floor and walls have
been
installed. Work will continue this spring to finish the building
before the summer ball season. WDSA and the Wahoo Baseball
Association (WBA)
both contributed to this project as well. |
A
new entrance awning (pictured right) was installed at Sam Crawford
Field. The awning pays tribute to the ballparks namesake...Major
League Baseball Hall of Famer "Wahoo Sam" Crawford. The awning is
also illuminated. Special thanks to the Wahoo Kiwanis Club
for their donation towards the cost of the new awning. We are
also excited to announce that Crawford Field will be the host of the
2012 Class B Seniors State Legion baseball tournament this
summer. The first time Wahoo has ever hosted a state Legion
baseball tournament!

A 'vision' for Hackberry Park is
unveiled...

Working in conjunction with JEO Consulting Group, the Parks and
Recreation Department has developed a conceptual design plan for the 27
acres of land acquired adjacent to Hackberry Park. The plan
addresses many existing outdoor recreational facilities needs that have
been identified...including new ballfields, multi-purpose fields
(soccer, football), basketball/tennis courts, sand volleyball courts,
additional parking, larger concession/restroom facilities, trail
expansion, and support facilities such as shelters, playgrounds,
batting cages and maintenance/storage. The design plan also
addresses storm water run-off issues that are currently experienced at
the park during rain events.
