Thank you to everyone for attending on April 18th to celebrate the ground breaking of a much anticipated project to complete the Big Rock Ballfields Renovation project.

It’s amazing to think that in one form or another, the City and its partner in Little League and the Soccer Association have been working to improve these fields for almost twenty years now.

From when the property was purchased in 1996, to the volunteer effort that cleared the land and built the first fields in 2000/2001; this has been a real TEAM effort.

The first grant application written in 1999 had described a goal for the project at that time which was:

“make it into a nice grassy field suitable for the needs of youth baseball and soccer programs.”

Now we’re here, about to start a project that will dramatically improve these fields and provide new opportunities for countless children and families to come.

There is a long list of people involved along the way who have helped make this project possible:

City Councilmembers past and present.

Snovalley North Little League.

SnoValley Youth Soccer Association.

Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO).

King County Youth Sports (KCYS).

King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert.

Jr. Redwolves Football.

AND OUR COMMUNITY FOR APPROVING PROPOSITION 1!

The City values the relationships we’ve built over the years with all of these people, and we look forward to continuing these long lasting partnerships.

Something that stood out from that original funding application written back in 1999 was a quote:

“…the community understands that it won’t be our field of dreams at the start. But; if we don’t start, it won’t be anything.”

And now we’ve arrived.
