Project Proposal
Project Description
The City of Camas will use this grant funding to redevelop the west baseball field in Forest Home Park to improve playability
and usage by upgrading the infield to artificial turf, improving outfield drainage, and increasing ADA compliance. Due to
poor drainage, lack of ADA compatibility, and limited infield dimensions, the City's primary partner at the park, Camas Little
League, cannot expand their baseball, softball, and adaptive leagues. Additionally, limited ADA accessibility creates
barriers for residents and spectators to utilize the field. In addition to the aforementioned site improvements, the project will
also include an interchangeable pitching mound, flexible base/striping configurations, upgraded dugouts, and LED lighting.
These upgrades will allow the site to increase softball offerings, thereby generating more equity in use of the fields. With
these improvements, Forest Home Park can continue to serve local youth for years to come and provide access to those of
all ages and abilities. The primary recreation opportunity improved by this project is youth baseball and softball.

Evaluation Criteria
#0:PROJECT INTRODUCTION Introduce the project’s location and goals to set the stage for the project.
Forest Home Park is a beloved neighborhood park owned and
operated by the City of Camas (City). The site contains multiple
community amenities such as baseball fields, playgrounds, a
basketball court, and open recreation space. Annually, over
12,000 patrons visit the park for an average of 40,000 visits. Most
notably, the park is the home for Camas Little League (CLL), one
of the City’s primary recreation partners, who hosts nearly 600
youth baseball games per year and serves roughly 600 local
youth.
Despite its popularity, the Forest Home fields are no longer safe nor efficiently used.
Poor drainage, lack of ADA compatibility, and limited infield dimensions are preventing
CLL from expanding their baseball, softball, and adaptive leagues. With the installation
of artificial turf, ADA dugouts and pathways, and interchangeable pitching mound, the
park can continue to serve local youth for years to come and provide access to those of
all ages and abilities.

Page 4 of 18 08/11/2026
#1:NEED - LOCAL PRIORITIES Describe the need for new or improved recreation facilities, how the need is known, and
why existing amenities in the service area do not satisfy the need.
Existing Conditions
Despite high demand for youth softball and baseball ages 4-13,
there are currently no youth-dedicated softball or 50/70 baseball
(ages 11-13) fields in Camas. Forest Home Park provides the
only two youth-dedicated little league baseball fields and
availability is limited due to poor drainage and a lack of ADA-
compliant access. There are no youth artificial turf fields in
Camas, which limits field availability for the 6+ wet months of the
year.
Gaps
Poor Drainage - Annually, 100-120 games (20%) and 300-400
practices are cancelled due to poor drainage. Poor drainage
combined with an overall lack of fields creates access and
opportunity gaps. Teams are often unable to reschedule cancelled
games and left utilizing undersized and unsafe facilities for
practice, such as school district-owned outdoor play areas.
No ADA-Compliant Accessibility - The 80+ year old pedestrian
access to and within Forest Home Park is limited and lacks ADA-
compliant walking paths, restrooms, and dugouts. These access
limitations unproportionately impact players with disabilities, such
as the local Challengers Little League, as well as spectators and
coaches.
Inability to Serve Multiple User Groups - The current field
configuration limits use to Little League baseball ages 12 and
under. The field cannot currently be configured to serve softball,
50/70 baseball, or other uses.
Current & Anticipated Use
The Forest Home athletic fields serve nearly 600 youth annually
ages 4-13. Currently, the fields are only properly configured to
serve Little League baseball. The proposed drainage, infield, and
artificial turf improvements will increase use and demand by
allowing the fields to be configured for youth softball and 50/70
baseball and reduce wet weather cancellations.
Project Identification and Prioritization
Poor drainage and accessibility have been documented for
several decades through community outreach, user feedback,
and City-led studies. Most recently, the 2026 Camas Athletic
Fields and Courts Assessment and Recommendations Report
identified the improvements proposed in this grant application to
increase field availability and access. Over the past several
decades the need for the proposed improvements have been
identified as a high priority through the following:
2019 - 2025 Annual Camas Little League Board Meeting Minutes
2014 Camas Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan
2022 Camas Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan
2024 RCO COAF Forest Home Grant Application
2026 Camas Athletic Fields and Courts Assessment and
Recommendations Report
As noted above, the high number of games and practices
impacted by wet weather combined with an overall lack of youth
athletic facilities are the primary indicators of need. Forest Home
field maintenance is the primary responsibility of the CLL Field
Enhancement Committee and they have consistently expressed
the need for improved drainage, as documented through monthly
board meeting minutes.

#2:PROJECT SCOPE Describe the site’s existing natural and built features. Describe what is being proposed in the
project, including land acquisition and/or elements to be built or renovated, and for what purpose.
Site & Project Description
Existing Features - The 5.4 acre city-owned park was built
around 1946. Natural features include flat slopes, poorly draining
clay soils, and mature trees. Field features include two Little
League baseball fields, irrigation, fencing, high-energy use field
lighting, dugouts, bleachers, narrow/limited pathways, restrooms,
snack shack, and a maintenance/storage building. Most of these
built features are end-of-life and do not meet ADA requirements.
Aside from sports amenities, the park is also home to two
playgrounds, a sport court, and park furniture.
Existing site images are included as an exhibit in this application.
The site is in a low-lying area and collects significant surface and
subsurface stormwater runoff from upland areas. Poor soils,
extensive stormwater runoff, and climate change increased rain
events in both size and frequency result in poor drainage and wet
field conditions that reduce field availability.
Proposed Project - This project is the first of several phases to
increase field availability, improve accessibility, and enhance
sustainability. Phase one inbound improvements are focused on
Field #1 (west field) and outbound improvements focus on park-
wide accessibility as detailed below. Future phases include similar
improvements to Field #2 (east field) and improvements to aging
buildings and bleachers.
Inbound
Infield improvements - drainage, artificial turf, ADA-compliant
dugout improvements, interchangeable pitching mound and
flexible base/striping configurations to add softball and 50/70
baseball uses
Outfield improvements - drainage
LED field lighting conversion to reduce energy use and
maintenance
Outbound
Upgrade bathrooms for ADA compliance
Construct new and replace existing pathways to improve
accessibility and meet ADA requirements
No land acquisition is proposed for the project.
Increased Recreation Opportunities
New User Groups - The installation of artificial turf with
interchangeable pitching mound and flexible base and striping
configurations will add the ability for little league softball and 50/70
baseball use, both of which are growing and have limited to no
field availability in Camas.
Increased Field Availability and Safety - Improved field
drainage and installation of artificial turf is expected to increase
field availability by up to 30% and improve safe practice
conditions for youth athletes. It will also reduce the cost of outside
facility rentals, allowing more funds to be directed to maintenance
and future improvements to increase recreation opportunities at
the park.
Improved Access for Users with Disabilities - ADA-compliant
dugouts, pathways, and bathrooms will increase access to players
and coaches with disabilities and improve access for spectators
of all ages and abilities.
Project Application Report - 26-1677
Page 6 of 18 08/11/2026
#3:PROJECT DESIGN - FIT Describe how the design aligns with the need, location, and project scope. Describe how the
design addresses any constraints and whether the design provides access for users of all abilities.
Need, Location & Scope Alignment - Through decades of user
feedback, public outreach, and partnership with CLL, the City is
confident that the proposed design is in direct alignment with the
need, location, and scope. Over the past several years, the City
has worked with CLL to refine the proposed design, building on
the City’s 2024 RCO COAF application for these similar
improvements.
Access for All/Addressing Project Constraints - A primary
project goal is providing access to all users through ADA-
compliant pathway, dugout, and restroom upgrades. The project
site and scope were selected in part due to limited constraints,
simplifying project delivery. As discussed in the project
management sections below, the project delivery team is
experienced at delivering similar projects, including administering
RCO grants and Department of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation (DAHP) approvals. The primary constraint is
funding, and ensuring budget and scope alignment. Multiple cost
estimates have already been developed, reviewed and refined,
and the City is confident that the project will be completed within
the estimated cost included in our application.
Key Design Elements/Considerations
Limited impacts to previously undisturbed areas - simplified
DAHP approval
New ADA-compliant pathways - direct access from parking to
fields
ADA upgrades to existing bathrooms, pathways, and dugouts -
access to all and $10,000 annual CLL portable bathroom rental
savings
LED field lighting conversion - increased sustainability through
energy and maintenance reductions, as well as mitigating
impacts to neighbors and wildlife
Drainage improvements - increased field availability and
improved water quality
Artificial turf installation - increased field availability and reduced
herbicide, fertilizer, and water use
Interchangeable pitching mound and flexible base/striping
configuration - increased field availability/use by allowing softball
and 50/70 baseball

#4:PROJECT DESIGN - BUDGET Provide an overview of the project budget and how the cost estimate was determined. If
the proposal includes additional site design and permitting, what is the process and anticipated schedule to be
construction-ready?
#5:PROJECT ENGAGEMENT - METHODS How were the people who will be most impacted by the project engaged?
Describe what methods were used and the populations engaged, including underserved populations and/or Native
American tribes. Describe the relevance of that participation for the population size, demographic, or socioeconomic
conditions of the community or service area.
Project costs were established using unit cost pricing from past
Forest Home estimates, recent related projects, and current
industry trends. An inflation factor was included to account for the
approx. 18 months between grant application and construction.
Cultural studies, design and engineering fees were also calculated
through consultation with local design firms.
For the matching funds, several funding sources were secured in
2024 & 2025 in advance of this grant application. They include
funding from Camas City Council as well as CLL, thereby
exhibiting their dedication and partnership to this project. Funding
amounts are:
City Capital Funding: $300,000
City Park Impact Fees: $200,000
Camas Little League Fundraising: $50,000
Total: $550,000
Regarding site design and permitting, the project team will utilize a
portion of the grant matching to secure a design firm through a
public procurement process in early 2027. If Camas is awarded
with grant funding, the project will be ready for construction
procurement soon after the award of funding. If we are
unsuccessful in funding, we will still proceed with a reduced
construction scope to utilize the remaining project budget.
However, reduced scope will have lower community impact and
field utilization. Anticipated permits include plumbing and
mechanical for the renovated bathrooms.
Community engagement for this project included the following
methods:
City Community Survey - During development of the 2026 Camas Athletic Fields and
Courts Assessment and Recommendations Report, the City activated a community-
wide survey on its Engage Camas web platform. The purpose of the survey was to gain
resident feedback on all sports fields within the Parks & Recreation Department,
including Forest Home Park. In total, the Engage Camas site attracted 1,400 visitors
with 385 completing the survey. Of the 385, 70 completed the section dedicated
specifically to baseball/softball.
CLL Membership Feedback - CLL’s Board of Directors
established a Field Enhancement Committee in 2017 with one
objective being the collection of member feedback on the fields at
Forest Home. Over the span of nine years, the committee has
repeatedly reported member feedback to the Board of Directors,
which helped shape the scope of this project.
Underserved Engagement - Engagement with underserved
populations was performed through a partnership between CLL
and Camas School District (CSD), utilizing their communications
and resources application. CSD figures indicate that 14% of
students are physically disabled. Comments from these
individuals, as well as adjacent little league organizations that use
Forest Home, identified the need for improved ADA conditions.
Engagement with female groups and low-income students (18%)
confirmed the need to provide accessible baseball/softball
facilities.
Project Application Report - 26-1677
Page 8 of 18 08/11/2026
#6:PROJECT ENGAGEMENT - COMMUNITY How has community input influenced the project design?
#7:PROJECT ENGAGEMENT - PARTNERSHIPS Describe any community partnerships that are providing support for the
project whether through financial, in-kind, project delivery, or other means. Partnerships may be formal or informal.
Describe the significance of the partnerships within the community or service area.
Through the community feedback, multiple responses helped
shape the scope of this project. On the City’s survey, baseball
field improvements ranked as the second highest priority out of
ten options. Poor field conditions due to weather and rain scored
as the highest reason for not using the fields and 29% of
respondents said they go outside of Camas to use baseball and
softball facilities. Lack of synthetic turf rated as the top reason for
seeking fields elsewhere.
Relating specifically to baseball, 79% of respondents use the
Forest Home fields at least once per week and 59% rated the field
conditions as fair or poor. Prioritizing year-round field use was
the highest request for utilizing budget, with the inclusion of
artificial turf being identified as the top solution. Additionally,
nearly 80% of respondents reported difficulty with accessibility at
the fields.
Through CLL’s Field Enhancement Committee, the top themes
regarding field conditions are:
Field reliability and drainage constraints
Limited access to durable fields
Accessibility
Lack of softball and 50/70 accommodation
With this feedback in mind, the project team was able to identify
and confirm our project scope of artificial turf installation, infield
and drainage improvements, and accessibility upgrades.
The City of Camas has had a productive and cooperative
partnership with CLL since the 1970s, with a formal joint use
agreement signed in 2022. Through this partnership, CLL
maintains field conditions within the playing surface, including
mowing, fertilizing, and infield upkeep. They also operate the field
lights and concession building on the premises.
Financially, CLL covers costs related to electricity, maintenance
equipment, and site capital improvements, with recent upgrades
involving a bullpen pitching mound and infield repair. The
organization has fundraised in the past to help offset capital costs
ordinarily borne by the City, including recent efforts to secure
$50,000 towards this proposed project.
From a community impact perspective, CLL delivers
approximately 600 members to the Forest Home field and hosts a
schedule of 545 games, as well as two regional tournaments per
year. Their targeted age range of 4-13 constituted roughly 15% of
the park’s 42,000 annual visits in 2025, which is almost double
any other age group. Additionally, they provide close to 200
volunteers per year to assist with grounds maintenance,
concessions, and management, totaling over 6,000 hours of
service. As a result of this commitment, Camas Parks &
Recreation does not have to include baseball or softball into its
programming and can utilize resources to grow other programs in
the community.

#8:SUSTAINABILITY Please discuss how the project’s location or design supports the applicant’s organization’s
sustainability plan or how the ecological, economic, and social benefits and impacts were considered in the project
plan.
#9:FACILITY MANAGEMENT Does the applicant have the ability to operate and maintain the facility?
During the development of the 2022 Parks, Recreation and Open
Space Plan, community feedback identified sustainability through
the theme of Maintain What We Have. This led to the development
of the 2024 Parks and Open Space Management Plan which
further identified specific strategies related to operations,
materials, and equipment. Key priorities from these strategies
include:
Enhanced experience through functional, safe spaces
Universal access
Using durable materials
Reduce light pollution
Through the scope of this project, we have addressed the key
priorities by including artificial turf, accessibility upgrades, and
efficient lighting. These elements promote more opportunities for
physical and social activity across all demographics, regardless
of physical ability, and create a safe and welcoming atmosphere.
The selected materials also mitigate the impact of rain and poor
weather on field conditions, thereby eliminating the need for
excessive maintenance and repair, including use of herbicide,
fertilizer, and water. Through this maximization of useful life, we
are able to reduce operational costs within the City and shift
volunteer resources away from field maintenance and towards
social connectivity.
The City owns Forest Home Park and currently has a signed joint
use agreement with CLL. Both parties have been formally
operating in this space since 2022. Camas has been involved in
recreational programming since 1990 and park maintenance for
decades longer.
Current management of the facility is a joint effort between the
City and CLL and follows the City’s Strategic Priority of
Stewardship of City Assets. As mentioned in question 7, CLL
maintains field conditions within the playing surface with the City
maintaining the remainder of the park. With Forest Home being
one of the city’s highest visited parks, maintenance, safety, and
cleanliness are a high priority for operations personnel.
Award of this grant and subsequent field improvements will
improve operational efficiency on site. With artificial turf and
improved drainage, maintenance crews from both organizations
can reduce time on field repairs and concentrate activities
towards enhanced safety and spectator amenities.

#10:AVAILABILITY When the project is complete, how often will it be available for competitive youth sports in a calendar
year?
#11:READINESS TO PROCEED What is the timeline for completing the project? Will the sponsor be able to complete the
project within 3 years?
Upon project completion, the fields will be available for year-round
use. Since the facility is situated within the publicly accessible
Forest Home Park, usage limits will be restricted to normal park
hours, which are essentially sunrise to sunset.
Per current practice and agreement, CLL will have priority to the
baseball fields from April to June for competitive play. This will
allow accommodation of practices, league games, and
tournaments. During these three months, the fields will be publicly
available during non-scheduled activities (approx. 50% of the
time) but the rest of the park will be open to all. In the months
outside of April-June, any member of the public can access the
fields during the aforementioned normal park hours.
As of the time of this application, the City does not have a
reservation system for Forest Home Park aside from the CLL
agreement. However, the department is shifting to a booking
system in 2027 or 2028 to offer other community groups
consistent access for league play. This change is due to
increasing demand for formal sports field use and will include all
parks with athletic fields, including Forest Home. Reservations will
be operated through our existing facility booking platform and
personnel.
As mentioned in question 4, the project team currently has
available funding of $550,000. With these funds, we anticipate
procuring the design portion of the project in the first half of 2027.
If awarded the grant funding, we will proceed with construction
procurement and permitting in early 2028. Coordinating
construction without disrupting little league schedules could impact
the completion timeline so we have planned for a June 2029
project finish, which still keeps us well within the three-year
timeline.
In summary, the proposed project timeline is:
Q2 2027: Procurement for design services
Q2-Q4 2027: Project design
Q1 2028: Procurement for construction services
Q2 2028: Secure permits
Q2 2028 - Q2 2029: Construction (based on timing with little
league schedule)
Q4 2028 - Q2 2029: Project completion

Cultural Resources
Cultural Resource Areas
Worksite #1: West Ballfield, Access Paths, and Restroom
Area: Field and Pathways
#1:Provide a description of the project actions at this worksite (acquisition, development and/or restoration activities that
will occur as a part of this project)
#2:Describe all ground disturbing activities (length, width and depth of disturbance and equipment utilized) that will take
place in the Area of Potential Effect (APE). Include the location of any construction staging or access roads
associated with your project that will involve ground disturbance.
#3:Describe any planned ground disturbing pre-construction/restoration work. This includes geo-technical investigation,
fencing, demolition, decommissioning roads, etc.
#4:Describe the existing project area conditions. The description should include existing conditions, current and historic
land uses and previous excavation/fill (if depths and extent is known, please describe).
#5:Will a federal permit be required to complete the scope of work on the project areas located within this worksite?
#6:Are you utilizing Federal Funding to complete the scope of work? This includes funds that are being shown as match or
not.
Removal activities include excavation of turf and soils, removal of
existing walkways, and disposal of light fixtures. Development
actions involve the installation of artificial turf and associated base
materials, outfield drainage components, LED light fixtures,
upgraded dugouts, interchangeable pitching mound, and asphalt
walkways. The existing bathrooms will be renovated to meet ADA
standards.
The new infield turf area covers a span of approximately 10,000
square feet and will require an excavation depth of 12-15 inches.
Upgraded pathways are 420 linear feet and range in width from 6-
10 feet. Depth of excavation to properly install new base material
and paving will be 8-10 inches.
The total outfield drainage area is 25,000 square feet but solutions
that require surface discharge and shallow run off conveyance
will be prioritized. Some short sections of new storm pipe may be
required and those linear excavations will be 6-18 inches deep.
The only planned ground disturbing pre-construction work is a
Cultural Resources study. After consultation with an archaeologist
on this project, it was determined that no more than five shovel
tests will be required.
The existing conditions within the APE are natural grassed
baseball field and spectator area, asphalt walkways, and buildings
(maintenance shed, office space, concession stand, bathrooms).
The buildings have been in place for at least 30 years and the
field has been in existence since at the least the 1970s. Based on
a preliminary review by a local archaeologist, there are no
documented archaeological resources within the project area.
There have also been two small cultural resource surveys
conducted previously, adjacent to the field, with neither survey
identifying any cultural resources.

#7:Do you have knowledge of any previous cultural resource review within the project boundaries during the past 10
years?
#7a:Summarize the previous cultural resource review; including lead agency and date of review, reference name
and numbers, etc. If RCO, include the prior phase grant number. NOTE: Do not provide any site-specific
information considered confidential. Attach previous surveys or other reference documents.
#8:Is the worksite located within an existing park, wildlife refuge, natural area preserve, or other recreation or habitat site?
#8a:Please name the area and specify when the site was established.
#9:Are there any structures over 45 years of age within this worksite? This includes structures such as buildings,
tidegates, dikes, residential structures, bridges, rail grades, park infrastructure, etc.
#10:Describe existing worksite site conditions. The answer to this question will be used in cultural resource consultation so
please provide detailed information.
Yes
We do not have details on the prior cultural resource
study, including the timing of a past review. However,
based on a preliminary review by a local archaeologist,
there are no documented archaeological resources within
the project area. There have also been two small cultural
resource surveys conducted previously, adjacent to the
field, with neither survey identifying any cultural
resources.
Yes
Forest Home Park, which was established in the 1940s
(exact date uncertain)
Unknown We don't have exact data on the building and dugout construction.
Past records show that the dugouts are likely over 45 years old.
Estimates for the other buildings are 25-40 years old.
The complete site is a 5.4 acre city-owned park that was built
around 1946. Natural features include flat slopes, poorly draining
clay soils, and mature trees. Built features include two Little
League baseball fields, irrigation, fencing, high-energy use field
lighting, dugouts, bleachers, narrow/limited pathways, restrooms,
snack shack, maintenance/storage building, two playgrounds, a
sport court, and park furniture. The worksite will be restricted to roughly 1.5
acres which reside in a low-lying area that collects significant surface and subsurface
stormwater runoff from upland areas.
