Wabasha Athletic Complex Repairs

The City of Wabasha is aware of concerns regarding the baseball outfields at the Wabasha Athletic Complex and wants to assure the community that this issue has been receiving ongoing attention.

The City has been working with the project contractor to address the outfield conditions as a normal part of the construction contract warranty process.

Earlier this spring, periods of warmer weather followed by colder temperatures and snow likely affected seed establishment, resulting in areas where the grass did not fully take.

This possibility was understood when the fall work was completed and is one of the inherent risks associated with dormant seeding.

Reseeding could not be completed earlier this spring due to weather and soil conditions. 

Monday, May 4^th, the contractor will come on-site and hydro-seed the area. 

The City expects the contractor to continue working with the City to correct the outfield conditions at no cost to the City and will continue to monitor progress to ensure the work is completed appropriately.
