. ! <br /> 7 <br /> C. PROJECT DESCRII'TION AND LOCATION MAP <br /> 1. Proiect Description and Specifications: <br /> The Boys and Girls Club has over the . years traditionally <br /> comprised youth baseball teams for competition in the <br /> city' s Khoury League. (See Exhibit A) . Since the <br /> construction of Phoenix Park and its ball diamond, we have <br /> expressed our interest and the need for the city' s inner- <br /> city kids to be able to play in their neighborhood. Fortunately, <br /> league administrators of the Khoury League agreed with us <br /> and granted our teams home games at Phoenix Park. (See Exhibit <br /> B) . <br /> In order to provide a �safe environment, encourage parent and <br /> spectator involvement and demonstrate our continual commitment <br /> to provide constructive alternative activities to gangs and <br /> juvenile delinquency, the following repairs, upgrading and <br /> improvements are requested: <br /> l. The orginial and present infield is in terrible <br /> condition comprised of hard, dry dirt ; and filled <br /> with bricks, pieces of brick rocks, metal objects <br /> which have resulted in r�umerous cuts, bruises, and <br /> torn uniforms by players. A fear exsist by players <br /> to field ground balls as well as sliding due to the <br /> condition of the infield which greatly inhibits <br /> the teaching of fundamentals. <br /> 2. The arch baseball backstop is needed to replace <br /> the present conventional one which has numerous <br /> holes in it as well as damaged wire. The new arch <br /> backstop will greatly reduce the number of batter <br /> foul tips leaving the ball field. Presently foul <br /> tip balls go over the backstop into the street and <br /> children dash into the street without concern for <br /> moving traffic as well as damages to parked cars. <br /> 3. Player benches within an enclosed fenced area are <br /> desired to maintain separation from non-players <br /> and equipment accountability. <br /> 4. To purchase additional 8' fence to enclose entire <br /> ballfield <br /> 2. Location Ma.p Inciuded: <br /> X Yes <br /> No <br />
