ERC To Move City Park Fence To 200 Feet
ERC To Move City Park Fence To 200 Feet
During the monthly Eureka Recreation Commission (ERC) meeting last Wednesday, Aug. 29, ERC members asked Director Derek Larcom to gather bids to move the fence at City Park from 235-245 feet to 200 feet. Director Larcom brought the issue to the ERC as erosion behind the fence is taking place. The ERC discussed ways to prevent the erosion, however, getting equipment to the area could be problematic. After visiting the field, the ERC approved gathering bids as moving the fence to 200 feet would benefit area youth as well as eliminating the need for a snow fence to be placed during the Lady Tornado softball season. The ERC plans to meet with the city and Eureka USD 389 once they have additional details on costs before moving forward. A brief discussion was held regarding moving the adult league for next year to Lion’s Diamond and utilizing snow fence; however, no decisions were made. The current adult wood bat league will continue at City Park. Teams had this past weekend off due to the Labor Day holiday but will resume on Sunday, Sept. 8. The seven-team league plays one – one-hour game on Sundays through Oct. 13. A tournament will be held on Oct. 20. Games begin at 2 p.m. 09/03/2024 04:00 AM
