OV Athletic Facilities Under Construction
The Okaw Valley CUSD #302 began construction on the $1.5 million athletic facilities upgrade at the high school last weeks.
Demolition of the current baseball field has started, and preparations to replace the gravel track with asphalt paving have begun and should be finished sometime this week.
The construction is scheduled to be finished for the 2019 spring sports season.
Included in the new facilities will be an 8-lane synthetic all-weather track, a new softball field for middle school and high school teams and a new baseball field with a synthetic turf infield.
On July 19, the OV School Board approved the use of an existing district fund balance to construct the facility.
