Delridge Playfield at 4458 Delridge Way s.w. is finally complete with the fences set to come down today and tomorrow. A community celebration is set for Sat. March 12 from 12:30 – 2:30 on the north field.
The renovated fields now support baseball, softball, Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, men's and women's lacrosse.
The size of the the field complex accommodates several of these sports at the same time.
Seattle Parks and Recreation awarded the construction contract to A-1 Landscape and Construction, Inc. Construction began in early July.
Several community meetings on the project improved the design which now incorporates two striped soccer fields, one softball field, one baseball field, one woman’s lacrosse field overlaying the north soccer field, one men’s lacrosse field overlaying the south soccer field, two striped Ultimate fields overlaying the south soccer field, and one smaller Ultimate field demarcated with ‘cone dots’ overlaying the north soccer field.
The ADA accessibility to the north has been maintained and ADA access to the south was added from the south parking lot.
The project was paid for through the Parks and Green Spaces Levy which allocated $3.2 million for planning,
design and construction.
