๐Ÿ“ข PARC Project Update

At Tuesdayโ€™s City Council meeting, a change order was approved to extend the PARC Project contract through May 18th. This extension will help ensure the project is completed the right way and to the highest standard for our community.

The City has also met with SIBSA to discuss plans for the 2026 season. To protect field conditions and support long-term quality, Fields #2 and #3โ€”home of Anna Indians Baseball and Lady Indians Softballโ€”will remain closed throughout the summer. This will allow the fields to recover and be in top shape for fall play.

Fields #1, #4 & #5 will be ready to go for SIBSA Union County Summer Ball first scheduled home games on the 26th of May.

SIBSA has already communicated these updates with coaches, and schedules have been adjusted accordingly.

We appreciate everyoneโ€™s patience and understanding as we continue working through this project. We know there have been inconveniences this season, but we are confident the end result will be well worth the wait for our players, families, and community.

Thank you for your continued support! โšพ๐ŸฅŽ

โšพ๐ŸŒฑ PARC Grant Ballfield Project Update ๐ŸŒฑโšพ

We know many families are excited โ€” and understandably curious โ€” about the progress of the PARC Grant ballfield improvement project, especially as SIBSA ball season sign-ups are now underway.

We want to reassure everyone: the project is on schedule. โœ…

Our contract completion date is April 12, 2026, and work continues to move forward as planned. Over the coming weeks, the fields will undergo several rounds of grass growth along with hydroseeding to ensure safe, high-quality playing surfaces for our athletes.

The City has remained in close communication with the SIBSA President, and we are all on the same page moving forward.

โšพ Rest assured โ€” baseball WILL go on this summer, and our community will soon enjoy fields that are better than ever before!

When complete, the park will feature:
โœ”๏ธ ADA-friendly accessibility throughout the park
โœ”๏ธ A centralized concession stand and restroom facility
โœ”๏ธ Sunshades for spectators
โœ”๏ธ Improved playing fields
โœ”๏ธ And much, much more!

We appreciate everyoneโ€™s patience and support as we invest in facilities that will serve our youth, families, and community for many years to come. We canโ€™t wait to welcome you all to a fun and exciting season at our new and improved ballfields! โšพ๐ŸŽ‰
