<strong>Kettering</strong> Park<br />
On Monday, May 6, 2002 <strong>Kettering</strong> students enthusiastically welcomed the opening of <strong>Kettering</strong> Park. IM soccer and softball were the first<br />
sports to be played in the first phase of the 25 acre sports complex. The sports fields, comprised of 70% sand and 30% topsoil, are all drained<br />
and irrigated. The rectangular portion of the complex includes either 2 soccer fields or 4 flag football fields or a lacrosse field and are lit by<br />
Musco Lighting, the premier sports lighting company in the country. Softball can be played on 4 fields, complete with backstops and<br />
crushed limestone infields. The Park also provided students, faculty and staff with the opportunity to utilize the .62 mile (1K) crushed<br />
limestone walking/jogging path.<br />
To add to the park atmosphere 32 trees and 13 shrubs were planted in May as the first phase of landscaping was begun. These trees included<br />
red maple, greenspire linden, Japanese flowering crabapple, hedge maple, common witchhazel and shadblow serviceberry. A memorial and<br />
dedication tree row was established along Third Avenue.<br />
