Summary
Baker Park’s big upgrade includes brand new synthetic turf fields, batting cages, concessions, and expanded parking—all set to cost $4-5 million. Officials favor a four-field layout with central amenities, while other parks like South Magnolia, Harding Street, and Greenwood get new sports facilities, safety upgrades, and future expansions. Final plans due late 2026, construction starts spring 2027, wrapping by spring 2028—with a state-of-the-art Baker community center planned for 2029-2031. Public input still open until July 16.
