On Monday, the Planning Board approved an application for 21RhodeIsland Department of Enviromnental Management recreation grant to build asnew tracltat the 60-plus acre park complex.The new track would replace the current Dionne Track on Cumberland HillRoad. “This is not the first time that {we've applied) for a recreation gran‘: through (KIDEM). We have applied in thepast and wc’vebeen successful,” Mayor LisaBaldelli—Hunttold board members, The city has previously been the recipient of RIDEM funds for a number of improvements at Cass Park, including new basketball courts, bridges and work around the edge of the pond.The most recent improvement, 21girls’softballfield at the base of the hill leading up to Renaud Field,willbe ready for play next spring, said Baldelli~l-Iunt. Whilethe designs are still.preliminary, the current plan is to relocate the track fromthe end of a driveway off Cumberland Hill Road to a partially Wooded area near the new softballfield. The new location willtake advantage of a little—usedspace betweenthe track, Renaud Field and Cass Park that will likely require some excavatioix,according to Balclelli~Hun‘:. The new locationwould also pave the way for another of Baldelli—Hunt’sproposed park improvements, the relocation of the Woonsocket High Schoolfootballfield from Barxy Field.While the proposal has drawn pushback among some residents, she told Planning Board members on Monday the new location would allowthe city to * eventually locate a football ?eld within the track. Thatplan will require the city to signi?cantly expand its facilities.Whilethe current Cass Park parking lot contains about 70 spaces, she told board.members, vehicle counts at the latest Thanksgiving Day footballgame totaled 170. “Thatwouldhelp us acquiresome parking sothat people coming to Cass Park would have some additional parking,” she said about the track relocation. . v hm:s://vwvw.va|leybreeze,oom/2019H2-11/woonsockez-nonh-smilh?eIdlr?ly-targets-new—irack~next-round-1/2 cass~park»updates#.XiifaMhK3cs Page 74 of 75 ‘ 1/22/2020 City targets new track in nexl round of Cass Par_kupdates {The Valley Breeze .’RI‘DEMrecreation grants require a 20 percent match by municipalities, funds that have previously been supplied through in-kindlabor from wecx'ty’sDepartment of Public‘Works.Parking lot work by the cityfs in—housepaving crew could also cantribute to the match,according to ,Balde11i—Hunt.
