Rankin Park Upgrade Nearing Completion

City plans to open the refurbished park and field to the public in late May.

The city is wrapping up a $4.1 million upgrade to Rankin Park and Tavan Field with an opening slated for Memorial Weekend. 

The rehab includes new landscaping, lighting, sidewalks, turf, irrigation, retaining walls, restrooms, play equipment, gazebo, a concession building, picnic tables and paving. Sod grass for the Tavan Field baseball diamond will likely be installed next week.

"We completely scraped the old park," City Engineer Tim Tucker told the Martinez Gazette on Friday.
