Now thats' starting to look more like a Baseball field!


Jack Graham, a local volunteer and contributor to this project, installs some last minute irrigation trenches for us. Thank you Jack!


FIELDS ARE COMING AROUND!! (FINALLY)

The fields in Kuna are finally starting to take shape. All of this after much work and effort on the part of the city and volunteers from the KBPRC .

After a lot of effort was put in thru the summer and into the fall on the fields and sprinkler systems, the final grade was approached by the City of Kuna Parks Department along with some irrigation work that was also performed by the the City work force. The KBPRC's hats are off to the City of Kuna for their help and the contribution they made to the fields.
The KBPRC has been working tirelessly on this facility, and really needed the shot in the arm provided by the City. After the KBPRC installed the irrigation system and Dustin Ferdinand began the grading, the City workers provided some valves for the sprinklers and completed the grading in the park between the two fields. What a huge help that was! Thank you Bobby Withrow and his crew from the City Parks Dept.

The KBPRC was able to obtain the sod thanks to Cloverdale Nursery... and just like that... snap!! Great looking fields!
Much work is left to be done but should proceed in a manner that will provide a nice playing surface for the youth baseball in the spring.

With the sod installed, we now have just about everything ready to start the backstop installation - thanks to our sponsors.
After the backstops we will be putting in the pitchers mounds, final grade, and the flag pole.
Wish us luck or come and help us! (Either or both) but keep checking just the same. We aren't going anywhere, and we will keep right on working on this for the next three years (or more).

Thank you for your interest!
