lOA THE NEWS-JOURNAL Raeford, N.C. May 5, 2010 Park (Continued from page lA) ton Park... we are playing tee-ball at Armory Park. “We built the new park so dif ferent age levels could play in the same place,” he said. “We have brothers playing at two different parks at the same time.” Last year there were roughly 600 kids in the baseball program, Jackson said. Now, there are 750. Other sports are growing as well. “It’s not just baseball,” the director said. “Every sport is the same. We are shorter on basketball gyms than we are on baseball fields.” In 2003, there were 703 kids participating in the recreation program. This year the department will serve 2,400. “We won’t turn them away,” Jackson said. “The only thing we can do is play Wednesday nights and Saturdays. We try not to play on church night, and Saturday we use for makeup games. “It’s a good thing that the county is growing,” he said. “It’s a great thing to have growing problems.” Part of the problem is parking, which is under capacity at the new park and nearly non-existent at Burlington. This week, county workers created a new gravel parking lot at the new park to try to free up some additional space. Jackson said game times are the busiest, but citizens are regularly using walking trails at the park, and children from Hoke schools, daycares and head start are constantly on the playground equipment as well. With growth comes new op portunity. Hoke County will host the Dixie Youth League state baseball tournament for nine- and 10-year-olds in July, an event that’s never been held here. The games could bring some sales tax to the county, Jackson said. As for adding additional fields or play area at the new park - it’s not going to happen any time soon. “I have a long range plan... but you are at the mercy of the long range plan of the county,” Jackson said. “Wecan’tputaparkin every community, which would be ideal. Every department has been told to keep at no growth this year if pos sible. As far as building another multi-million dollar park, that’s out of the question.” Consistent speed all day, every day.
