The City is considering allowing the Cincinnati Recreation Commission (CRC) to enter into an agreement with the Reds Community Fund to build a youth baseball complex at Oskamp Field in Westwood.

An ordinance authorizing the agreement is currently in Council's Education, Health and Recreation Committee.

The complex would include four baseball fields, a "Miracle League" field, and a new restroom/concessions facility.

The Miracle League field is made of a synthetic rubber surface that increases safety and access for children with disabilites.

The $4 million project will be built in two phases. Part of the price tag will fund an endowment for the CRC, which will own and maintain the complex.

Construction is expected to begin in October and will be completed by June 30, 2007.

The Reds Community Fund has been holding a fundraising effort for the project since last year.

The project was designed by GBBN Architects.
