EL PASO, Texas – Public Works Director Pat Adauto said Monday construction forof the new sports park is on budget and ahead of schedule.

   “Construction started at the sports park on January 4,” Adauto during a county commissioners’ meeting. “They are moving very quickly.”
   The new facility is taking shape on 80 acres near the intersection of Montwood and John Hayes streets.
   Adauto says Phase 1 of the construction includes setting up drainage, concrete and parking.
“They’re not really going to see anything substantive until probably March because that’s when the fields will all be in. They’re doing window replacement at the concession area, so some of the walls and interior are stucco,” said Adauto.
   She explained some of the unexpected issues workers with contractor Jordan Foster have faced.
   “They found electrical wiring and electrical poles that had just been dug and left underneath the field,” Adauto said.
El Pasoans could see the complex completed by end of April. Adauto said the expected completion, date is 120 days from Dec. 14, 2015, which makes the deadline April 12.
   “This is great news. I go by once in a while and see hard hats,” said county Commissioner Carl Leon.
   “There might be a slight delay in tournament play but I think they’ll just move it back a couple of days, just in case,” said Adauto, when asked about tee-ball season. “We’re not canceling the season. I anticipate we’re going to be in full swing probably in May.”
   Adauto says the project costs $2.3 million.
