Coupeville High School officials are moving forward on two projects to improve playing surfaces for Wolf athletics.
The ongoing construction of new tennis courts next to the CHS gym has mostly been completed, but the actual pouring of concrete will likely have to wait until after the brunt of winter, said Superintendent Steve King.
For now, the project, which is a capital project funded by a levy, has produced additional parking slots for those attending basketball games.
Those slots are located on the Northwest corner of the gym.
Once spring arrives, CHS also plans to begin work on improvements to the school’s softball field.
“In working with our community and the Town of Coupeville, we have determined that a renovation of the field is a better option than our original plans to relocate,” King said.
“We will be doing some initial improvements on the field this winter, and then during the summer of 2024, we will do a more significant update.
“The most important part of this change will be creating a larger and safer backstop to keep balls off of Terry Road for safety reasons.”
