Park Summary
If you drive along Black Mountain Rd. and look to the west from the Miramar College entrance, you will see a big grass area that lays between Walker Elementary School, to the north, and Wangenheim Middle School, to the south. This area is known as the Wangenheim Joint Use Sport Fields and Walker Neighborhood Park.
This proposed project upon completion, will double the size of the sport field area by adding grass to the area on the far west portion of the property (currently gravel). The project will also add a much needed 30 car parking lot that will be accessed from Flanders on the west side of the property. To expand the playing time during “standard time” periods of the year the project will also add additional lightning so that the entire sport field area can be lighted at night.
One of the most important features of this project will be the addition of a restroom/storage/snack bar area which will be built near Black Mountain Rd. in the area that is now the fence line between Walker Park and the sport fields. Finally there will be a shade structure added to the Tot Lot at Walker Park.
The 2nd community design input meeting was held June 13th. Estimated completion 2019-2021.
