specifications needed for the cricket field. These meetings revealed the best approach to providing fields for the cricket user groups was likely to install a near-term cricket field and also propose a long-term solution. The near-term cricket field would address the immediate needs of the cricket user groups while the long-term solution would allow for the opportunity to design the cricket facility to meet the goals and objectives of the cricket user groups. In both near-term and long-term options, one significant goal was to not impact other user groups. The requested amenities and field size for both are as follows: Near-term: Area large enough for a circular field with a minimum 180 -foot radius • Parking for at least 5 to 10 cars • Matted pitch (synthetic) approximately 80 -feet long by 12 -feet wide in the center of the field; pitch can be DG, cement, or clay with synthetic turf on top • Request that grass be cut to 1 -and -1/4 -inch height (the Parks Division currently mows all fields at 3 inches, and this would not likely change due to additional cost, wear and tear issues associated with a lower -cut grass and increased water use associated with a lower -cut grass) • Space for storage (Knaack box, approx. 6 feet by 6 feet by 3 feet) • Access to restrooms. Long-term: Area large enough for a circular field with minimum of 240 -foot radius Approx. 50 parking spaces Natural grass pitch/field • Bermuda or similar grass that can withstand high wear/tear and can sustain all weather (any natural grass field will need to be closed for Winter no matter the type of grass) Field that can be used during weekdays/weekends year-round Lights • Bleachers to seat approx. 100-200 people Field use by permit only • Storage area for equipment Score board ® Low-cut (3/4 -inch) grass (this may or may not be possible depending on turf options and associated maintenance requirements) Pitch area measuring approx. 80 -feet long by 60 -feet wide facing north/south Sight screens on both ends of the pitch Access to restrooms Water fountains Barbeque/picnic/team area with shade structure or indoor space. Utilizing this information, staff evaluated all potential city parks where either the near- term or long-term cricket field could be located. Staff identified the following parks within Page 3 of 7
