According to parks spokesman Amir Wenrich, the new $1 million building will feature permanent restrooms and accessibility improvements to expand recreational opportunities and accommodate more park users. The building also includes a concession area and storage space
Construction on the new building is expected to be completed in October 2022.
The park sits at 12500 Kyle Wilson Way and includes two 300-feet grass infield softball fields and three 225-feet grass infield Little League fields. Both softball and Little League teams use the park.
The groundbreaking comes nearly a month after county officials broke ground on a new Rollins Ford Park, about 10 miles away from Catharpin Park. The 70-acre, $9.3 million park will include two athletics fields (one grass and one synthetic turf), a playground, basketball court, pavilions, dog park, restrooms, walking trails, a “pump track” for bike riders, and wildflower meadows.
Rollins Ford Park should open in September 2023.
