SUBJECT:
Fallon Sports Park Phase 3 - Work Session
Prepared by: Andrew Russell, Public Works Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a presentation and participate in a work session on the
concept design and amenities to be incorporated in Phase 3 of the Fallon Sports Park
Improvement Project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the presentation and provide direction on the concept design and amenities to
be incorporated for Fallon Sports Park Phase 3.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
The adopted 2018-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Fallon Sports
Park - Phase 3 project (CIP No. PK0119). The project provides for the design and
construction of the final 14 acres of the 60-acre Fallon Sports Park.
On January 8, 2019 the City Council directed Staff to include a cricket field and a five -
bay batting cage facility in the concept des ign of Fallon Sports Park - Phase 3. The
cricket field and batting cages will be developed instead of two softball fields that were
part of the original Fallon Sports Park Master Plan. The City Council also directed Staff
to develop concept plans that could include sand volleyball and/or BMX.
Based on City Council direction provided in January, three concept plans were
developed for Phase 3 of the park. The three concept plans were presented to City
Council on May 7, 2019.
At the May City Council meeting, sports user groups provided input and requested
additional items to be considered for the Phase 3 project. The City Council provided
direction to staff to do the following:
Delete stairway and accessible path that connects the Little League field to the
corner of Fallon Road and Bent Tree Drive

Provide for a 4th sand volleyball court
Provide costs for Little League field lighting (two fields)
Provide costs for one, two-story score keepers booth for Little League
Provide costs for batting cage lighting
Provide costs for cricket field lighting and 4’ fence surrounding cricket field
Meet with sports groups again to discuss these items
As part of the re-design of the Phase 3 area, Staff met with representatives from Little
League, volleyball, and cricket, and Staff completed additional research. That effort
resulted in additional requests for the Phase 3 project.
Sports User Groups Requests:
Little League - Add two-bay batting cage adjacent to one of the fields
Volleyball - Add bleachers
Cricket - Add storage container, two additional pitches, two-story score booth,
scoreboard, perimeter netting, bleachers, and sight screens
The detail and costs for these items are included below.

Council meeting and requests after the City Council meeting.

Staff is now requesting that the City Council discuss these requests and provide
direction to Staff on the elements to include in the bid package. It should be noted that
requests made to lighting will require additional environmental analysis and study
should the City Council wish to include them.
