The city of Roswell on Friday broke ground at the site of the new adaptive therapeutic sports field at Waller Park Extension.

The new field, located on Dobbs Drive, is set to open in spring 2016, and will feature a synthetic turf that will allow wheelchairs and walkers to move freely.

With the installation of this field, the city will also be able to expand its adaptive programs to include additional athletics such as youth baseball and softball, as well as enhance the experience of sport and recreation for those individuals attending the Summer Friendship Camps.

The Roswell Rotary Club has made a generous donation of $60,000 toward the project, which costs about $105,000 in total.

In addition, the Roswell Recreation Association has donated $25,000, and a private donor has put forth $16,000 toward the project. The remaining funds will be donated by the Friends of the Roswell Parks, Inc.
