FCPA grant approved for turf baseball field at Linway Terrace Park

At its meeting on June 28, the Fairfax County Park Authority board approved a $20,000 grant to the McLean Little League (MLL), which has proposed replacing the existing grass field at 6246 Linway Terrace with a synthetic turf field. Synthetic turf will “provide an even and consistent playing surface that is more forgiving of wet conditions,” the park authority said. McLean Little League has committed to funding the remainder of the conversion, which will cost an estimated $1.2 million to $1.3 million. The grant, along with an initial $230,000 contribution from the little league, will cover the cost of design and permitting, according to the FCPA. Linway Terrace Park is located at 6246 Linway Terrace, McLean, Virginia. |
