The 2015 Bond Program included funding to provide facility improvements at the North East Sports Park – specifically, to renovate the pool facility and construct a new baseball stadium. Facility renovations to the pool area were completed in the summer of 2017, while construction work on the new baseball stadium was completed in September 2018. An analysis of the main entrance into the Sports Park indicated that the addition of a 3rd traffic lane would improve egress from the facility. Currently, the main entrance area is signalized with 2 dedicated traffic lanes, including a single-lane entrance and single-lane exit. Reconfiguration/widening of the main entrance area to facilitate construction of a 3rd traffic lane for exiting will allow better traffic flow after the completion of athletic contests.
