Half Million Dollar Expansion Underway At Cantonment Park
March 14, 2011
A nearly half million dollar expansion is underway at the Cantonment Athletic Park. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June.
The Escambia County Commission awarded the $492,197.50 construction contract to low-bidder Roads, Inc., of NWF. The project consists of the addition of two multi-use practice fields at the park, including a grass parking lot, landscaping and drainage improvements.
The proposed site is currently wooded and almost completely surrounded by wetlands. A Florida Department of Environmental Protection permit will allow access to the site from the current park with a paved entrance road with a culvert structure.
The park expansion will be funded with local option sales tax monies.
There were a total of nine companies that bid on the project. The second lowest bidder was Gulf Equipment Corp. at $509,312.50 while the highest bid was $653,243.57 from J.B. Coxwell Contracting, Inc.
The Cantonment Athletic Park is an 80 acre regional park at 681 Well Line Road. The park has 12 baseball and softball fields, one football field, restrooms, concessions, playground and security lights. A partnership with Cantonment Baseball Club and Cantonment Football Club provides for various youth athletic programs at the park.

Stadium Lights To Be Moved From Old Century High To Century Park
March 9, 2011
Youth football at the Anthony Pleasant Sports Complex has always been a race to beat sunset with no lighting at the Century field.
But now the Escambia County School District will allow the town to remove and utilize the stadium lights currently located at the former Century High School stadium.
Mayor Freddie McCall believes the town will be able to remove the lights from the old high school stadium and move them to the Anthony Pleasant field for $6,000 to $8,000 — he is still working on getting an exact cost.
If the town purchased new lights for the field, it would cost an estimated $70,000, McCall said.

Bills Aimed At Reducing High School Athlete Head Injuries
February 23, 2011
A coalition advocating for efforts to reduce brain injuries – including traumatic brain injury survivors – is backing legislation in Florida to boost education of athletes, coaches and parents about the warning signs of concussion. The bill would also require doctors to check out players with head injuries before they can go back in a game.
Bills sponsored by Sen. Anitere Flores and Rep. Ronald “Doc” Renuart would require the Florida High School Athletic Association to adopt policies keeping youth athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion in a game or practice out until they get cleared by a medical professional to return to action.
