The Peck Athletic Fields in Central Tacoma are being redone in an over $20 million renovation.
The city started plans in 2023 and just completed phase one.
Chief Planning Officer for Metro Parks Tacoma, Marty Stump, says this is a major collaboration between city parks, Tacoma Public Schools, and other entities.
“It’s an amazing project, a very significant project for Tacoma,” he told KIRO 7 News.
On Friday, KIRO 7 got an early inside look at the renovations and with a $22 million dollar price tag, Stump says it is one of the largest park projects for Tacoma in recent memory.
Phase one includes a new all-season field for Stadium High School’s baseball team, with improved lighting and updates to the baseball diamond.
