The U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service awarded a $686,000 Project Grant to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The grant will fund improvements to Tiger Field in Blackshear, Georgia to enhance accessibility and modernize the recreational facilities.
Specifically, the funding will be used to construct a concrete park pathway from the parking area to the bleachers and install a concrete pad around the bleacher areas to improve ADA accessibility. The project will also replace the field lighting with LED fixtures and resurface the access road and walking track. Additionally, a designated parking area with asphalt, curb, gutter, and concrete pathways will be developed, along with grassing work. The grant award period runs from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027.
A sub-grant of an unspecified amount was also made to the County of Pierce to support the Tiger Field rehabilitation project.
