The Cardinal Park-Field Improvement Initiative is a Community Action Project designed to engage individuals of all ages and backgrounds.  Cardinal Field is a fantastic park, featuring ample space and numerous options for activities.  The projects will be situated in the back of the park, toward the water tower, and in the area where the baseball field is currently unused.


Some initial ideas for the park's development include:

  • Pickleball
  • Basketball
  • Skate Park
  • Pump Track
  • Benches and Trees


The development will unfold in stages, contingent upon funding and actual project costs. 


We cherish our park and invite you to join us in making it flourish.
