Site plans for the now-approved 8.47-acre park in The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado show two Little League ball fields, with room for a third.
The land, at the southwestern corner of North Powers Parkway West and West Placone Lane, will be home to two new Little League baseball fields with 225-foot fences. The fields are necessary to relieve a space crunch on fields across the city.
Plans also reveal additional open space, an entry pavilion and plaza, concession area with restrooms, playground, picnic area with a 20-by-20-foot ramada, multiple turf areas outside the ballfields and parking for approximately 120 cars.
The site recently was changed from single-family residential zoning to parks and recreation, to gain open space, in part, to address economic consequences of a field shortage.
