A major facelift is underway on the Alpheus “Gunny” Jones ballfield. The Tulalip Construction Department began turning dirt on June 1st and the work will continue through the end of November. Once complete, the field will be blanketed in synthetic turf similar to the product used in the UW Stadium and Century Link Field.
“The Construction team is excited to bring an exciting project to the community,” said Construction Manager Dave Boehme.
The all-ages field will be available for more than just baseball, the field will be multi-use, marked for football, soccer, baseball and softball. The artists rendering outlines the full vision for the multi-use fields. Future phases may include basketball courts, batting cages, and a walking trail as funding becomes available.
