Improvements to the Pershing soccer fields are slated to begin in July 2011. The project will entail: soil preparation, grading, installation of irrigation, a removal of Field #3 (to make space for an additional soccer field) and seeding. The grant is through the Hennepin County Youth Sports Program with financial support from the Fulton Neighborhood Association, Linden Hills Neighborhood Council and Southwest Activities Council.
Pershing was also one of five parks selected to participate in the McKinstry Energy Efficiency Project. The program will implement energy-saving measures based upon the unique needs of each recreation center. Improvements will begin in August and be completed by the end of 2010. The work focuses on heating and air conditioning systems, web-based temperature controls, energy efficient lighting, weatherstripping, insulation, vending machine operation controls and plumbing enhancements to conserve water. Project work will not impact the day-to-day operations at the recreation centers.
