The ballfield has been accepted by the Parks Department, and practically all work has been completed. It's not open to the public yet but should be pretty soon. The turf looks great, and while I haven't played on it yet, it feels good under foot. Much better than other types of synthetic I've seen.
Here's the view from the bleachers at home plate. Notice the overlap of mesh in the upper left corner -- that's one of the details the contractor still has to straighten out before they can close out the job.
I wish I could say the same for the basketball... they have made a lot of progress in the last couple weeks, but I would say at least a month before they get close to finishing.
You can see they have blacktop down now over most of the site, but this is just the binder course -- goes underneath what you actually walk on. They can't put down the top course until the big sports lights go in, so waiting for those is holding everything up.
They do have most of the plants in, which is fortunate since we're now in July (supposed to be done in the spring), curbs and concrete work all done, fencing practically done, and of course the chess table is in if anyone wants to come challenge me to a game. Note that for now we'll have to stand up to play.
