PROJECT NARRATIVE
This proposal is for approximately $6M of improvements to the existing baseball and softball fields at Lindbergh High School,
which will enhance the usability of the fields. Lindbergh High School is located on three parcels in Renton, Washington and
about 37 acres in size. The various improvements in this proposal are occurring on an approximately 5.73 acre area including
the baseball and softball fields and the direct vicinity.
The Lindbergh High School site is zoned R-6: Residential 6 DU/Acre. Properties to the north, west, and west half of the south
frontage is also zoned R-6. Property to the east half of the south frontage is designated zone RC: Resource Conservation.
Property to the east is outside of Renton City Limits.
The project includes converting the existing ball field surfaces of natural turf and the clay/silt infields to synthetic turf , with
associated underground stormwater detention systems, similar to Rainvault. The fill material proposed is cork and sand infil l.
New Musco field lighting system with 10 new light poles (four on the softball field, and six on the baseball field), with pole
heights of 60-90 feet and “full cutoff” housing, LED fixtures and virtually no light spill to the surrounding areas. New batti ng
cage structure with roofing, chain-link fencing along the batting area, and a storage area with garage style doors. The total
roof coverage of the proposed structure is approximately 40’ by 100’ or 4,000 square feet, while only 800 SF is enclosed. No
off-site improvements are proposed and no trees will be removed.
The School District may complete the following projects as well if the funding allows:
▪ Larger dugouts with similar design, for ADA compliance.
▪ New concrete pads with space for 2 portable toilets per field. At this stage, only the concrete pad is in the scope.
▪ Additional hardscaping for spectator access.
▪ An additional batting cage facility adjacent to baseball field.
▪ New scoreboards for both fields.
▪ A Public Address system with portable equipment and up to two permanently mounted weatherproof speakers on each
field backstop.
