MANSFIELD PARKS & RECREATION APRIL 2023 DEPARTMENT UPDATE Parks and recreation crews spent the winter months making improvements to the parking lot areas at Big League Dreams (BLD) and Hawaiian Falls. This work included clearing vines on the back walls of the BLD fields and removing trash trees and other undesirable plant material from behind the fields and trimming existing trees. Dead plant material and weeds were removed from landscape beds and decomposed granite added to them. Curb repairs are scheduled to be completed within the next two weeks. More decomposed granite will be installed in the remaining beds and we will begin developing a plan to install plant material and landscape boulders. Parks and recreation staff developed planting plans for the landscape beds around the buildings at the Fieldhouse, StarCenter and Mansfield National Golf Club. Irrigation repairs are ongoing and once it is near completion, plant material will be ordered and installed. The parking lot islands are being cleared of dead plant material and leveled out in preparation for new plant material and decomposed granite. BLD staff continue their improvements to the fields, including repairing/replacing field turf and pavilion turf, painting outfields and dugouts, replacing outfield graphics and repairs to chain link fences. At Mansfield National, Arcis has completed the renovation of the sand bunkers on the course. They are continuing their work on replacing sections of the cart paths, as well as renovation of the electrical system in the cart barn for electric golf fleet conversion and replacement of the flooring in the clubhouse. During the off season, Pro Parks is implementing a new AOP secondary sanitization system that will improve water clarity and disinfect water by oxidizing organic and inorganic contaminants. Due to high demand, they are adding rental cabanas along the lazy river. The park will also see the typical re-painting of slides and play equipment. The park will open to private rentals in early May and the opening day for the public will be Memorial Day weekend.
