Kelly Park Turf and Track Replacement

• Project typeParks and recreation

This project is located in the Belle Haven neighborhood at 100 Terminal Ave. This park will be maintained and improved in conjunction with the construction of a new multi-service center facility next to the park. 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 new multi-service center facility, 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. To mitigate lost balls, a 20-foot-high soccer netting system located on the eastern edge of the field between the soccer goal and the track to protect the new multi-service center facility and outdoor space from misdirected soccer balls.
