Facilities

Size: 90 Acres (10 acres developed)

Facilities: Eight tennis courts, football field, track, softball field, open space for additional field games, school building - restroom, lockers, water, and telephone.

Service Area: General area to include the southern half of the City, especially the south-southwest corner.

Natural Features: Topography divides the site into the upper fields (practice, softball, and tennis) and the lower fields (football, track, and baseball). The site is bounded on the north by Galloway Creek and the west by the Red Cedar River. The adjacent to both waterways are heavily wooded.

Special Features: The proximity to the Red Cedar, the wooded banks, and vast open areas. A landform resembling a drumlin is located on the south end of the property.

Maintenance: Generally good. Sandy soil does create management concerns.

Access: Pedestrian access is limited to the Fowler neighborhood and River Heights neighborhood. Vehicular access to the site from the general community is good.

Development Plans: The School District will prepare a development plan. The large site affords the opportunity to program additional activities. The expansion would be internal. The site needs a space definition that could be created by planting and/or earth shaping.
