Restoring Play and Community at Corinth Community Park

As part of Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities initiative, volunteers, professional contractors, and community partners are teaming up to revitalize the baseball and surrounding athletic fields at Corinth Community Park in Corinth, Texas. This collaborative effort will transform a well-loved but aging space into a safer, more functional, and environmentally healthier green asset for local families, athletes, and residents to enjoy.

The comprehensive renovation includes rebuilding the home plate area and pitcher’s mound to regulation standards, replacing bases and anchors, grading and resurfacing the infield and outfield, and installing fresh TifTuf Bermuda sod across the playing surface. Using precision laser grading and professional-quality clay, infield mix, and conditioners, the project will enhance playability, improve drainage, and eliminate uneven areas that can cause injuries. Updated irrigation and careful turf management will ensure the fields remain durable, attractive, and sustainable for years to come.

Beyond the technical upgrades, the project underscores the vital role that healthy green spaces play in a community’s well-being. Safe, accessible athletic fields encourage physical activity and teamwork, while lush green turf naturally cools the environment, filters stormwater, and improves local air quality. These benefits extend far beyond the ballfield—creating a space where residents can connect, children can play, and community spirit can thrive.

This GreenCare for Communities renovation is made possible through the collective efforts of Project EverGreen, the City of Corinth, and dedicated partners from the Sports Field Management Association (SFMA) and the Texas Sports Field Management Association (TXSFMA). Their expertise, resources, and volunteer commitment exemplify how collaboration across industries can create greener, healthier, and more connected communities. The renewed fields at Corinth Community Park will stand as a shining example of teamwork in action—restoring both the land and the spirit of play it supports.
