Hellwig Park Sports Field Improvements

Citizens passed a General Obligation Bond in 2006 that included seven new projects and funds to purchase additional park land. Due to the current economic environment, those projects have been placed on hold with the exception of the Hellwig Park field improvements. This project is moving forward primarily because it is funded heavily from existing proffer development funds and the bond for this project was sold prior to future bonds being frozen by the County Executive. Operating support will be funded from the transfer of the operating funds that currently support the Independent Hill sports fields.  The Independent Hill fields are being replaced by the new Hellwig Park fields.

 
This project will provide for three 60-foot diamond sports fields and one 90-foot diamond field and additional parking. Eventually, two smaller universal diamond sports fields will be added through a public-private partnership and permanent restrooms will be built at the site. A pdf drawing of the project is included below.
