Pyke Athletic Fields Renovations Proposed Project Description

The Pyke Field Improvement Project proposes improvements to the existing park and recreational facilities at Pyke Field in Crescent City, Del Norte County, California. The proposed project will include installation of a new playground structure with accessible surfacing; replacement and/or installation of new energy-efficient LED field lighting; installation of synthetic turf infields on all three existing ball fields to improve playing conditions, drainage, durability, and year-round usability; installation of new visitor bleachers with new seating to enhance spectator safety, accessibility, and comfort; installation of a new concession stand with public restroom facilities as well as replacement of the existing restroom on Field 3; and installation of a new group area and BBQ area. Associated work may include minor grading and site preparation, removal and replacement of existing infield surfaces, preparation of appropriate base materials and drainage systems for synthetic turf installation, accessible pathways and facility access, utility connections, concrete pads and foundations, minor drainage improvements, landscaping, signage, and other incidental improvements necessary to support the proposed facilities. All improvements will occur within the boundaries of the existing developed park and are intended to improve public access, safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, facility reliability, and recreational opportunities. The installation of synthetic turf infields and replacement of visitor bleachers will further enhance the functionality and long-term sustainability of the existing athletic facilities while supporting continued recreational use. The project will not change the property's existing public park and recreational use.
