Date
Background
In 2012, the City Council authorized and received a feasibility report for the Hamlet Park Im-
provements. The proposed improvements will include constructing additional baseball/softball
fields; construction of a new pavilion/concession building with restrooms; construction of addi-
tional parking, access drives, trails, lighting; and extension of public utilities from 91st Street.
The planned project will be constructed in three phases, which began in 2019 and will conclude
in 2021. The following is a proposed summary of the planned improvements by year:
2019 – Extend sanitary sewer and watermain to the future location of the concession
building and grade the two northern ballfields.
2020 – Construct two northern ballfields, construct concession building, and construct the
trail adjacent to the fields and building.
2021 – Construct the north parking areas, access road from 91st Street, trails and side-
walks around the fields, landscaping at north parking lot, shade structures, street and
parking lot lighting.
Plans and specifications for each future phase of the park improvement project will be created
and submitted for Council approval in those following years.
