- A presentation by the Emery Field project team of the proposed design for the Phase 2 Build-Out.
Background:
Emery Field is located at 2 Cole Street, with 3.1 acres of the 5.8-acre site being utilized for athletic fields. The field is bordered by Woodlawn Avenue to the south east, Cole Street to the north east, residential properties to the northwest and wooded area to the southwest.
The concept design for the Emery Field park improvements was developed as part of a Master Plan for Athletic Fields completed by Weston and Sampson for the Town and a volunteer group of citizens in Kittery called the Athletic Field Improvement Committee. The master plan was funded by donations.
Phase 1:
In 2016, the Town initiated Phase 1 of the Emery Field park project, with construction of a new multipurpose. natural-grass athletic field and a perimeter walking path. The project received a Maine Land & Water Conservation Fund grant, and was constructed over the fall of 2017 and spring/summer of 2018.
Phase 2:
The Town of Kittery was conditionally awarded a $300,000 grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund for Emery Field Phase 2. Funding will complete the circumnavigating path, pickleball and basketball half courts, along with playground features.
Phase 3:
