RECREATION COMMITTEE: FY24-FY28 CAPITAL SUMMARY STATEMENT In light of these considerations, the Recreation Committee FY2024-FY2028 5 -year capital plan has revised since FY2023-FY2027 in an effort to 1) at least partially mitigate the acute impact of the potential loss of athletic fields during a LHS building project and 2) take active steps toward reducing the magnitude of the deficit in athletic field availability that exists in Lexington: • revise the Lincoln Park Fields Capital Program to accelerate the turf renovation schedule by one year to reduce the overlap between Lincoln Park field closure and potential loss of Center Recreation Complex field usage resulting from a LHS building project: Field 41 from FY2025 to FY2024; Field #2 from FY2026 to FY2025; Field #3 from FY2027 to FY2026; revise the Lincoln Park Fields Capital Program to include the installation of athletic lighting at Lincoln Field #1 and Lincoln Field #3 in FY2024, which would yield up to 1600 hours of additional field availability; • revise the Athletic Fields Capital Program to include the development of a lighted, multi- use synthetic field designed to provide 2 full-sized rectangular multi -sport fields, and contained within them a full-sized cricket pitch, on the site of the Old Harrington School (Option Harrington B in the Comprehensive Study of Athletic and Outdoor Recreation Facilities 2021-2022), which would yield up to 4,600 hours of additional field availability.
