      • New baseball facilities, including a new fieldhouse and revitalization of the existing all-weather field into a third baseball diamond
      • A relocated and enlarged parking lot, designed to manage traffic and speeds within the parking area and 49 street
      • Retention of the existing path connection to Ladner Elementary School
      • General park improvements including a community gathering space under the shade structure near the pickleball courts, ample seating, and a small playground.
