Throughout the past decade local groups have dreamed and worked towards enhanced recreation.

The Edgewood Community Dreams Committee represents a number of service and civic organizations from the community and school district.

The organizations involved are the Edgewood City Council, the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District, Edgewood-Colesburg Athletic Booster Club, the Edgewood Board of Economic Development and the Edgewood Recreation Association.

The Community Dreams committee has been working on a development plan for 84.5 acres of land that the city of Edgewood and the Edgewood Board of Economic Development have purchased.  Working with Craig Ritland Landscape Architects and Associates, our committee has an exciting plan for the future of Edgewood .

Enhancement of the already high quality of life found in Edgewood is the goal of the committee.  To do this, they wanted a plan that addressed continued economic development in our community, created additional housing opportunities and continue enhancement of recreation opportunities for all members of our community as well as the student athletes of our school system.  In addition to also provide a safe and well-planned recreation area for all ages for years to come.

There are three phases of the plan that are envisioned to take 15-20 years to complete.  Phase I will begin in the spring of 2004 and be completed by spring of 2006.  Phase I is to build two little league ball diamonds, a football field and track, a high school baseball diamond, a campground, an irrigation pond, and roads into the recreation development and housing development.  The goal is for the little league to be using their new facility in the spring/summer of 2005, the high school football field and track is slated for completion in the fall of 2005, and the high school baseball diamond for spring of 2006.

The cost of Phase I is $911,000.  The land has already been purchased and there has already been $80,000 in private donations committed to this project.  Proceeds from other activities, such as the sports slave auction and the walk/run event will be donated to this project.  There will be continuing support from the city of Edgewood , the Edgewood Little League, the Edgewood-Colesburg Vikes Booster Club, and Edgewood-Colesburg Schools.  Outside grants are also being pursued.  If you have any input or wish to make a tax deductible donation  please contact:
