The project will add multiple recreation amenities to the county facility, including a splash pad, lighted pickleball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course, a field archery range, playground, fitness equipment, picnic area, and walking trails. A new diamond field complex with parking and restrooms is also planned as part of the expansion.
