2016-2017:  Gunston Park Renovation
 Originally slated as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP)
                       ($1.4M allocated to renovation)
 
Arlington Sports Foundation worked with Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to supplement          the costs of converting grass field to synthetic turf:

•  Enables single purpose field (Adult Softball) to be multi-sport configured (for both Diamond and Rectangle sports use)
•   Enables field to be available for use year round (Prior to renovation, field was unused from November-March)
•   Allows for an additional 900 hours of additional field usage time

Arlington Sports Foundation spearheaded effort to raise $372k to cover “delta” between CIP funds and costs for synthetic turf

• Youth Diamond Sports Leagues    
• Adult Softball League
• Private Donations

                                              Field was open for play in June 2019

                                                                                               WE DID IT!!!
