The Ballard Playfield (2644 NW 60th St) will be getting some much-needed improvements next year. Seattle Parks and Recreation will host another informational meeting about the changes this Thursday (August 23) at the Ballard Community Center from 7 to 8pm.
Seattle Parks has set aside $1.6 million for the project, and plans to install two synthetic turf baseball fields, replace the field lighting system, improve ADA access, and install other field enhancements. They say the new lights are high quality, energy-efficient and minimize glare off the field while still providing plenty of light for players on the field, which is used often by community youth leagues.
This is the second meeting Seattle Parks has hosted this summer about the changes – in June they invited the public to learn about the project and ask questions (see meeting notes here). Construction on the playfield should start in summer 2019.
