Grimes Bridge soccer fields reopen after $4.1 million renovation

Roswell celebrated completion of the Grimes Bridge Park soccer-field renovation September 24, reopening two fields with artificial turf and supporting site improvements.

The $4.1 million project converted Fields 1 and 2 from natural grass. The city says the surfaces allow multiple playing configurations and support Developmental Players League requirements for its Select soccer programs.

Work also rebuilt a retaining wall, added a plaza and stairway connection, improved fencing and netting, and addressed stormwater infrastructure and the detention pond. Funding came from the voter-approved 2022 Parks Bond Program.

The city’s announcement identifies a further landscaping phase with 29 trees planned for the fall. Field programming remains managed by the athletics staff; completion of construction does not mean every time slot is available for unrestricted drop-in play.
