Irving Parks and Recreation is set to bring new and improved cricket fields to the city, catering to the growing demand for the sport. The construction of two new cricket fields at Sam Houston Trail Park and Mountain Creek Preserve, along with upgrades to existing facilities, will provide ample space for players to practice and compete.

The project, which began earlier this year, includes site preparation, grading, and the installation of irrigation systems at three existing cricket fields to ensure top-quality playing conditions. Pitch installation is set to commence this month, with irrigation installation scheduled for the summer, weather permitting. Sod will be laid in the fall, and the fields are expected to open for public use once established.

Funding for these projects has been secured through various channels, including $217,414 in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds allocated by the Irving City Council. Additional funding is pending for essential components such as concrete cricket pitches, sod installation, and shade elements. The city’s Water Utilities Department will also install an irrigation meter at one of the fields, resulting in cost savings for the city.

The new and enhanced cricket fields are a testament to the city’s commitment to providing diverse recreational opportunities for its residents. With the growing popularity of cricket in the area, these facilities will not only cater to the existing cricket community but also attract new players and enthusiasts.

The development of these cricket fields aligns with the city’s efforts to promote an active and healthy lifestyle among its residents. It also reflects the city’s dedication to investing in recreational infrastructure that meets the needs and interests of its diverse population.

As the project progresses, the community can look forward to enjoying state-of-the-art cricket facilities that will enhance the overall sports landscape in Irving. The new fields are expected to be a hub for cricket enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels, further enriching the city’s recreational offerings.
