A Day in Elizabethtown

I spent the day on Friday in Elizabethtown, KY. “E-Town” is home to the future Elizabethtown Sports Park. James Bergdoll, Sports Park Turf Manager, took the time to show me the progress of the facility. Below are a number of photos.

The first two shots are from the soccer fields. The fields have sand slit drainage. The fields will be sprigged with bermuda grass this week.

The first shot was a close up of the drainage system, and the second shot shows the drains as well as the grade of the fields. The fields are graded at .5%

Next, a couple of photos of the grounds shop.

First, the equipment building, the a shot of the dirt bunkers. James did a great job with this layout.

Finally, two photos from the baseball fields looking north to the soccer fields. This 100 acre+ complex is massive.

Opening day, mid 2012!
