Kelly Park Turf and Track Replacement

• Project typeParks and recreation

This project is located in the Belle Haven neighborhood at 100 Terminal Ave. Kelly Park’s athletic field and track facility was last renovated in 2010, and features a synthetic turf field, rubberized track and exercise stations. The turf, track, and exercise stations have reached the end of their serviceable life span and need replacement. Funding for the replacement of the facility was included in the five-year capital improvement program. Additional exercise equipment will be installed. The site will be ADA compliant.

The scope of work for the proposed project includes removing and replacing the existing synthetic turf and rubberized track. Striping, markings and relocation of fitness stations, and irrigation laterals overlapping the work are also included in the proposed scope of work. Due to the proximity of the Belle Haven Community Campus, it is recommended to relocate the exercise stations an alternative location along the track, and to remove the underutilized long jump sand pit and replace with infill plantings.

Current status

The turf and track design is substantially complete. Shade structures need to be added to the plans. The project is currently on hold due to the BHCC work on the microgrid. Construction is expected to follow in 2026 after the completion of the microgrid, which includes the installation of solar panels and EV charging facilities at the Kelly Park parking lot.
