GET READY TO RUMMMBLLLE!!!!!

BEFORE

 

 AFTER

Wow!

What happened to all of those dirt piles? 

 Re-grading on the New Kuna Baseball Fields finally got up and rolling with some great determination from the volunteers involved in this endeavor! Trucks, backhoes, skid steers, and tractors could be heard rumbling through the park at all hours of the day and into the evening as hundreds of yards of dirt was transferred out of the park or into designated areas in the facility.

 After hiding behind an enormous steaming pile of dirt, the ADA project was "unearthed" after a six week delay. With the organic matter cooking in this particular pile, as soon as it was exposed to the air, it burst into flames!  Now that is some powerful good dirt! With the ADA ramp now ready for grading and paving, things will be moving again on that part of the project very soon. 

 The grading of the park is one that is being pursued in a fashion that will guarantee proper drainage, and also control the erosion that plagued the facility in the past. This procedure is being handled by some very dedicated people who are taking every precaution to insure it's success. We can't thank them enough for their support. You can find them there at the park, sometimes at seven o'clock in the morning and well into the evenings. The most amazing part? They have nothing to do with baseball or softball, just an awesome community giving spirit! 

 At the present time, we are concentrating on the infields and hope to have the settling and compaction completed by the Kuna Days celebration in August. The infields will be off limits to foot traffic during Kuna Days, but we are getting the outfields ready for the Kids Carnival and the fireworks display by Lloyd Stubbs. If this year is anything like last year's fireworks display, you better plan on being here for it! Great show ... well worth the trip to Kuna! 

 Following Kuna Days, we will begin some grading in the outfields to address the drainage limits and fill in the "valleys" that have created a poor playing surface. 

 This week, look for the construction of the "Avenue" between the two fields. This is going to create more dirt and more rummblllle!! We will be adding irrigation and some supply lines, plus relocating the water main in the park. 

 We have some new surprises in store with the park that promise to benefit Kuna for years to come! Look for more on that soon.

 I would like to thank everyone who emailed with suggestions for the concession building and the dugouts! Those are some cool ideas! Thank you very much! In response to this, the concession building is being changed a little (okay, a lot) and we will have the new plan here in a few weeks.

 Please look for the scaled site plan to be on display at the park real soon. We are hoping to have it in place by Kuna Days. If you are at Kuna Days, please stop by our booth in the vendor area and ask any questions or give us some more ideas! 

 Thank You!!
