Parks and Recreation Ballfield Infield Renovations Project

Project Locations: 1. Piney Wood Park 400 East Woodcroft Parkway Durham, NC 27713. 2. Valley Springs Park, Ballfield #1 3805 Valley Springs Road Durham, NC 27712. 3. Southern Boundaries Park, Ballfields #1 and #2 100 Third Fork Road Durham, NC 27707. The Department of Parks & Recreation currently has a softball field at Piney Wood Park that is used constantly by higher-level league play. Despite diligent maintenance by DPR staff, this field has eroded and degraded over the years. The infield has a poor soil mix, areas of ponding during rain events and somewhat dangerous transition zones from the infield clay to the outfield grass, where tripping hazards can occur. Also, the three previously renovated fields at Valley Springs and Southern Boundaries need additional soil mix and touch-up laser grading. In addition, a new fabric barrier will be added at all four ballfields next to the fence to slow the loss of soil material from the infield.
