STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: January 8, 2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Batting Cages Report and Fallon Sports Park Phase 3
Prepared by: Janet Coles, Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will receive a report on options for the development of batting cages,
including options for batting cages at Emerald Glen Park and Fallon Sports Park. The
City Council will also provide direction on a Master Plan update to include a cricket field
and batting cages in the Phase 3 development of Fallon Sports Park.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the Batting Cage Report and direct staff to update the Fallon Sports Parks
Master Plan to include a cricket field and batting cages in Phase 3 development.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Fallon Sports Park - Phase 3 is included in the 2018-2023 Capital Improvement
Program with a project budget of $10,360,000. Project funding is from Public Facility
Fee Funds. Funding for batting cages in Fallon Sports Park would be from the Capital
Improvement Program project budget. Funding for batting cages at other locations may
be from the General Fund, Public Facility Fee Funds, or a combination of funds.
DESCRIPTION:
On April 17, 2018, the City Council asked staff to identify options for the development of
cricket batting cages. The City Council requested that staff look at potential cage
configurations and project costs for batting cages with between two bays to six bays.
Staff worked with BFS Landscape Architects to identify potential locations for batting
cages, considering various park locations including Dublin Sports Grounds, Kolb, Wallis,
Emerald Glen and Fallon Sports Parks. Emerald Glen Park and Fallon Spor ts Park
were selected as the sites with the most compatible uses and with the area to
accommodate the requested two to six bay cricket batting cages.
Following are the details and costs associated with constructing batting cages at
Emerald Glen Park and Fallon Sports Park. Locations and preliminary layout of the
Page 2 of 3
batting cage options is shown in Attachment 2.
Emerald Glen Park Option:
Construct a new three-bay batting cage at an estimated cost of $400,000. The cage
would be located on the north side of the existing concrete path, adjacent to the existing
two-bay City cage operated by Cricket for Cubs. The location is south of the
maintenance corporation yard and southwest of the Little League baseball diamond. In
addition to the existing two-bay batting cage, Emerald Glen Park includes a cricket pitch
between two soccer fields in the southwest corner of the park.
This option is for fully enclosed 113-foot-long batting cages, where the pitcher, bowler,
and batter are within the batting cage. This diff ers from the existing batting cage, which
is shorter, open at one end, and the bowler’s runup is outside the batting cage.
Fallon Sports Park Options:
Option 1 - Convert one tennis court to a fully enclosed three-bay batting cage, at an
estimated cost of $350,000. This would reduce the tennis courts from 4 to 3 courts.
Option 2 - Convert existing Little League batting cages to a fully enclosed two-bay,
multi-use batting cage, at an estimated cost of $225,000. This option would encroach
upon the existing trail along the stream corridor.
Option 3 - Construct a new fully enclosed batting cage facility (up to five bays) in
conjunction with the design and development of Phase 3 of Fallon Sports Park. This
option is estimated to cost $600,000. This option can accommodate up to three 113-
foot long cages and two shorter 99-foot long cages. The shorter cages can be used for
children’s leagues. The longer cages are for adult leagues and the interior partitions
could be designed to be removable, such that limited fielding practice could occur within
the cage.
Fallon Master Plan Update
The City of Dublin Parks and Recreation Master Plan, 2015 establishes a proposed
standard of one cricket field per 40,000 population with two cricket fields needed at the
City’s build-out.
In addition to the Batting Cage study, BFS Landscape Architects completed a Cricket
Ground Study to determine how a cricket field could fit in Phase 3 of Fallon Sports Park.
This study indicates a cricket field could be developed in the area of the two
undeveloped softball fields. Additionally, this study shows how the 5 -bay batting cage
option could be designed to fit next to the cricket field.
The City Council approved the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan on June 23, 2006.
Phase 1 was completed per the Master Plan and included two little league fields, two
softball fields, four tennis courts, four basketball courts, two soccer fields, grading of the
BMX course and associated parking lots, restrooms and walking paths.
On February 21, 2012 City Council approved an update to the Master Plan for the
Lower Terrace (Phase 2), and on February 18, 2014, approved the Phase 2 Master
Plan and scope of work. Phase 2 was completed and accepted by City Council on June
Page 3 of 3
19, 2018. Phase 2 improvements included two lighted synthetic turf soccer fields, a 90 -
foot lighted baseball diamond, a restroom and concession building, four lighted bocce
courts, adventure playground, a group picnic area with trellis, a 145 -stall parking lot,
landscaping and irrigation, and street frontage improvements along Central Parkway
and Fallon Road.
According to the current Fallon Sports Park Master Plan, Phase 3 is to include the
development of two additional Little League fields, two additional softball fields, a group
picnic area and playground, a restroom and completion of the BMX course. The Fallon
Sports Park Master Plan update would include the review of these uses as well.
Staff is requesting that City Council provide direction regarding the preferred location
and configuration of a City batting cage facility. Staff is also requesting direction to
proceed with an update to the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan. The update will include
consideration of integrating a cricket field instead of two softball fields.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the design and construction of the remaining 14 acres of Fallon Sports Park, referred to as the Upper Terrace. The design is dependent upon an update of
the Fallon Sports Park Master Plan to include an option for a cricket field and batting cages. Fallon Sports Park is a 60-acre community park bordered by Fallon Road, Central
Parkway, Lockhart Street and Gleason Drive. Phases I and II of the park have been completed and Phase III represents the final phase of design. Subject to an update of the Fallon
Sports Park Master Plan, design options for Phase III will be completed in Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
ANNUAL OPERATING IMPACT: $215,000
