This amount <br />will be used for the creation of the multi-use field and the creation of a new Tee ball field. The city will <br />match this amount above using park funds with partnerships. This grant is crucial for the project as it <br />will considerably accelerate the city’s efforts in providing safe, inclusive, and accessible athletic fields at <br />Hackberry Park. Without the grant support, the city will not be able to complete the project for several <br />years at the least. The grant funds will go directly to providing and improving athletic facilities for an <br />age group that is struggling to find reasonable accomidations for their needs. <br />53
