Old Heritage Park improvements and possible tournaments
Sachse
Summary
Two options for the aging ballpark side of Heritage Park: a basic amenity replacement or a version adding a new lighted turf field and food truck area (~$11.7 million). Member Danielle Parker, a travel-ball parent, pushed the idea of upgrading fields to tournament standard to generate revenue; staff noted existing fields don't meet tournament criteria and turfing existing fields would cost about $750,000 each.

Impact analysis
About $11.7 million as proposed; turfing all three existing fields could push the total toward $16-17 million.
Sachse Baseball families and event-goers, plus the city if tournaments ever bring in revenue.
Some members noted a single park improvement of this size serves only part of the population and could consume park funds citywide.
