Rec Center Ball Field Completion & Parking Lot Expansion Project

As our youth and adult sports programs continue to grow, so does the need to make improvements  on our fields. Whether you’re here for youth sports, or just a place to be active and connect, we’re proud to be the hub for health, fun, and togetherness on the West Plains.

With that growth, comes the need to make improvements so we can continue providing the high-quality experience our community deserves.  We are prioritizing the expansion of our parking lot and long-overdue improvements to our ballfields here at the Recreation Center.

Many of you have experienced the parking challenges firsthand, especially during games on Saturday mornings. We’ve seen cars parked in the field areas, and unfortunately even on Deno Road. That’s why we’re moving forward with a parking lot expansion, which will provide safer, more convenient access for all who participate in our field sports.  In addition to parking, we’re also making ball field upgrades including the addition of dugouts, as well as home run fencing. 

This project solves some immediate safety issues and sets us up for future field expansion and the addition of a future playground and other improvements.  Our landscape architect is working on putting together the construction documents to take this project out to bid with a projected completion in 2026.  We’ll be sharing updates as the project moves forward. Thank you for being part of the Airway Heights Parks and Recreation family—we’re excited to continue to grow and improve together.
