Wahconah Park Restoration Committee Launches Survey

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — In spring 2022, the Wahconah Park grandstand had to be closed to fans due to structural concerns. 
 
The City of Pittsfield and Wahconah Park Restoration Committee is considering how best to proceed with a project that returns fans to a safe grandstand structure that meets handicapped accessibility requirements while providing a better fan, player and overall experience.
 
The Wahconah Park Restoration Committee has launched a short survey to gather feedback around various aspects of the project. This survey is now available to the public and can beaccessed through the city's website: https://www.cityofpittsfield.org/departments/community_development/wahconah_park_restoration.php
 
The 8-question survey is not exclusive to city residents.
 
There is also an opportunity for respondents to provide in-depth feedback on anything related to this project. The survey also includes a FAQ document that further explains initial considerations of the site, building code and other relevant information.
 
For additional information about this survey and project, contact Jim McGrath at jmcgrath@cityofpittsfield.org.
