Director Chris Tribble presented Item 5C and responded to questions. Assistant City
Manager Ben Thatcher also was available to address questions.
Director Tribble facilitated a discussion of the recommendations for the City's Sports
Complex at 2100 Crooked Lane presented in the adopted 2030 Park Recreation and
Open Space/Community Facilities (PROS -CF) Master Plan. The Board provided
feedback to staff about their expectations for the facility's future use and design for each
of the following recommendations.
• Synthetic Turf on Large Field — And synthetic turf on baseball fields at SSC
• New/Renovated Building — Eliminate building and repurpose space to obtain as
many rectangular fields as possible; Park Board's concept for the park is not to
limit the fields as a practice first location, but design so competition use of the
fields is possible
• Pavilions & Shade Structures / Restroom — Favor centralized building for
concessions, restroom, shade, maintenance & storage
• Playground — May be relocated/deleted
• Batting Cages — Two to four batting cages desired; at least one per field
• Multipurpose Sports Field Improvements — Increase size of multipurpose field
• Maintenance Building/Storage
• Park Entry Feature — Desire two park entrances; circular drives for drop-off, pick-
up; also explore an overflow parking arrangement with church
• Trails & Parking Improvements — Shared parking with City Service Center; desire
to maintain buffer on north side, but investigate road relocation that would still
provide proper buffer; keep looped walking trail
• Landscape & Irrigation — Turf entire baseball fields and at least infield of baseball
fields; if a well is needed, could it be located on Public Works property
• Skate Park — May be included in 2035 Master Plan, if additional land could be
acquired
• Add Wall Ball walls
• Plan around existing (new) sports lighting configuration
• Fencing along property line where determined
• Dog Park in southern park of City — Include in 2035 Master Plan
James Williams, Schrickel Rollins I PSC, was present to answer questions and to
receive Park Board comments and concepts for the Southlake Sports Complex.
