All <br /> seven scoreboards are installed and in operation and have been used by both baseball and softball and <br /> they are ecstatic with the addition to the complex. <br /> Staff is in the process of receiving quotes for replacement of the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex <br /> irrigation system. This system is over 30 years old and is no longer functional. While inspecting the well <br /> that supports the irrigation system,it was noted that the pump was undersized for the irrigation system <br /> as well. Staff is working with well contractors to upgrade the well components to a 10 horsepower <br /> pump to allow for sufficient irrigation for the athletic complex and for Orono Park. Staff anticipates <br /> receiving final costs by the end of July and hopes to replace the irrigation system yet this year. <br /> Trail Projects <br /> The trail projects along Orono Parkway and Joplin Street are complete. These two trails were paired <br /> with the road reconstruction projects. The contractor is looking to begin work on the remaining trail <br /> construction projects in the next several weeks beginning with the short trail segment at the library <br /> followed by the segment north of the high school and finally with the trail construction and <br /> reconstruction at Kliever Lake Fields. <br /> Barrington Park Playground <br /> Replacement of the Barrington Park playground is anticipated to begin on July 11,2017 with removal of <br /> the existing structure by Kids Around the World. The new playground is ordered and installation is <br /> anticipated to be conducted the week of July 24, 2017. The playground should be largely complete by <br /> early August. <br /> Trott Brook Farms Park <br /> Tennis court resurfacing is anticipated to begin the third week of July and should be completed in 1-2 <br /> days. Cracks on the courts will be grouted and sealed, the surface repainted and tennis and pickleball <br /> lines added. <br /> rM E 1 E / 11 <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2017\07-12-17 PRC Packet\9.2 Park Superintendents NATURE <br /> Report.docx <br />
