Spring Valley's Big Plans for New Sports Fields and Park

Spring Valley is getting a big boost to make its parks even better. The town just got over $245, 000 from the state. This money is going to buy more land next to a new park. The park is planned near John F. Kennedy School. The extra land will help make a bigger and better place for kids to play sports. The city wants to build a special sports area with four baseball and softball fields. They are thinking about two big fields for fastpitch, one for junior league, and one for senior league. This means kids of all ages will have a place to play. The plan also includes parking, walking paths, and green spaces. They might even add another restroom.The new land will add to what's already planned for the 5-acre park. This includes restrooms, a playground, and storage for equipment. City officials are setting up a committee of local people to help plan the new space. This way, the community can have a say in how the park and sports fields are built. This is a big deal for Spring Valley. It shows that the town is serious about giving kids a place to play and have fun. The grant money is a great start, but it will take more planning and work to make it all happen. The committee will play a big role in making sure the new park meets the needs of the community.
