As part of the City’s Recreation Reimagined Initiative and funded through the FY2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), deteriorated courts, fencing, and site amenities were replaced, as well as new asphalt pavement and sport-specific surfacing installed. Such upgrades are engineered to improve safety, playability, and overall user experience. Additionally, the improvements deliver a durable, long-term solution for residents and visitors who rely on the facility.

A competitive bidding process was conducted, and the contract was awarded to Edwards Construction Group, a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), in an amount not to exceed $363,081.
