Project to Add New Amenities, Cultural Spaces and Year-Round Recreation for Families

The District 2 ballpark is set to undergo significant changes as part of a new improvement project that will renovate and expand the existing facility next to the District 2 Service Center, transforming the area into a multiuse recreational hub for residents of all ages.

The District 2 Service Center and Tribal Projects Development announced plans to enhance the ballpark while adding a variety of new amenities designed to encourage year-round community use. New additions will include a parking lot with drop-off area, park grills and ramadas to accommodate family gatherings, birthday celebrations and community events.

A new walking trail and sidewalks are also part of the project, creating a safer and more accessible pathways throughout the park. The expansion will include the construction of a skatepark and basketball courts. One of the most unique features is the planned storytelling area, complete with seating and a fireplace. The space is envisioned as a gathering place for community events, educational programs and evening activities, blending recreation with culture and connection.

The project will also include renovation to the existing bathroom facilities, grass replacement for the ballfield and installations of a new irrigation system. Jeved Construction, a local and Native American woman-owned business from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, will be handle the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
