Gainesville Parks and Recreation Deputy Director Michael Graham walks Friday to a portion of the athletic field near Gainesville Middle School where spectator stands will be added as the city is renovating with field by adding restrooms, concessions and lights.
The Gainesville Parks and Recreation department is ready to bid out improvements to a ballfield that include lights, concessions, restrooms and spectator seating. City Council approved a land swap with Gainesville City Schools last year that gave the parks department control of the Gainesville Middle School field, adjacent to the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center. The improvements are aimed at making the field suitable for regulation football games and other sporting events.
