Backfield Reimagined Project: How You Can Help
Project Overview
Welcome to the Backfield Reimagined Project—an initiative designed to transform our outdoor space into a vibrant, functional area for our community. The project includes development of playground areas, sports fields, and recreational spaces that will serve people of all ages. As shown in our site plan, this three-phase project will create dedicated spaces for play, sports, community gathering, and spiritual reflection.
Our Vision
The Backfield Reimagined Project will create a modern recreational and spiritual space for our community. When completed, this multi-purpose area will provide opportunities for physical activity, social connection, and spiritual growth. By completing this project, we'll create a welcoming environment where people from the north Spokane community can play, exercise, connect with each other, and connect with God.
Project Phases
Phase 1: Play and Gathering Spaces
The first phase focuses on creating spaces for children and families, including:
- State-of-the-art playground structure (46'10" x 29'1") with climbing elements, slides, and activity panels
- Volleyball court with high-quality sand surface
- Outdoor picnic seating area for community gatherings and events
Phase 2: Pickleball Courts
The second phase will expand our recreational offerings with:
- Dedicated pickleball courts
- Appropriate surfacing and marking
- Court equipment and accessories
Phase 3: Prayer Garden
The final phase will create a peaceful spiritual space featuring:
- Thoughtfully planted trees and landscaping
- Comfortable seating areas for reflection
- Dedicated space for prayer and connecting with God
- Calming design elements that encourage spiritual reflection
The Backfield Reimagined Project will create a modern recreational space featuring a state-of-the-art playground with climbing structures, slides, and activity panels. The playground equipment, measuring 46'10" x 29'1", is designed for safety and accessibility. Surrounding fields will provide space for various sports and activities, with quality materials like basalt, sand, and bark ensuring durability and safety. By completing this project, we'll create a welcoming environment where community of north Spokane can play, exercise, and connect.
