Stickball / Soccer Field:

The final touches to the stickball-soccer field have been made.  The play area has been in use for several months.  During the summer and fall of 2008 final construction activities like installing the scoreboard, fencing and landscaping have been completed.  Approximately 200 soccer players (potentially more) have been using the field for soccer tournaments, practice, and normal competition.  The field is open for use by the stickball players.  Construction of this project would not have been possible without assistance from Tribal Construction (Johnny and Glen Bradley), Cherokee Department of Transportation (Barak Myers and Kenny Panther), Facilities Management, and Community Recreation (Chumper Walker).  Contractors that assisted were Grounds of Perfections of Sylva, Petra Masonry of Bryson City, D&C Landscaping and Trackhoe Services, Proctor Hodge Architectural.   Funding for the project was provided in part by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
