Union City Upgrades Ballfields with Eco-Friendly Turf and Facilities Amid R3 Master Plan Rollout
Union City's Highway 29 Ballfields are getting a face-lift, and it's not just cosmetic - think eco-friendly tech and artificial turf. The big dig started May 28, and it's part of a grander scheme, the City's R3 Master Plan, which is all about giving the city's play spaces a serious upgrade for kids and adults alike. Mayor Vince R. Williams is stoked for the turf because it means better access for athletes with disabilities, sharing, "Adding a turf field allows the Ballfield to be more inclusive for athletes with disabilities. Our Miracle League participants have played baseball games inside the Gathering Place gymnasium for several years. Imagine the joy the players and their families will have by playing the game they love outside," according to a Union City announcement.
Residents should brace themselves for a bit of dust and noise, as this project is slated for a 10-12 month run. It’s all about playing the long game for a winning space that the whole community can enjoy, even if it means temporary hassles during the upgrades. City officials have promised the payoff will be worth the wait. While field upgrades are the main event, places like the skatepark, volleyball courts, chess tables, and outdoor fitness gear will remain open, so life goes on even amidst the construction chaos.
City Manager Sonja Fillingame is talking a big game about Union City being the fastest-growing City in Georgia, and she's not just blowing smoke - this new turf is set to show off the city's green side by being tough as nails against the elements. And it's not just about what's underfoot; the plans include extra goodies like new walking trails aimed at creating a more modern, fun outdoor experience.
For folks wanting the nitty-gritty or to air out any concerns, they've got a direct line to Lee Blitch, the Director of Parks and Recreation, who's fielding calls at (770) 892-6288. The city's bigwigs are convinced this overhaul will be a home run for community pride, and they're banking on residents to keep the spirit up while their favorite fields get a major-league upgrade.
