Golden Eagle Park in Wingfield Springs a Home Run
Posted Apr 25, 2008 @ 10:39 am, Viewed by 266 Visitors, Read 277 Times.
Can you say the largest public works project in the history of the City of Sparks? The cost of this park is $30 million dollars and is on 140 acres. Sparks again is proving itself not to be riding on the coat tails of its big brother Reno. As the old saying goes “Reno is so close to Hell you can see Sparks”. Well my friend, Sparks is a force to be reckoned with, and this new park is another notch in little brothers belt.
It has 1.4 million square feet of synthetic turf, the largest amount in the world, and is located just past the gates of Wingfield Springs on Vista Blvd. This will help the lagging Sparks Real Estate market and will be a shot in the arm to the Sparks economy. The park features 6 softball fields, 2 baseball fields and 3 multi purpose football/soccer fields with over 900 trees throughout and a million square feet of grass.
It was funded mostly by the sale of Don Mello Park that was recently sold for $17.7 million dollars.
