Stonecrest parks director outlines 2025 upgrades at Salem Park, Browns Mill and southeast fields
Summary
Kelly Ledbetter, Stonecrest director of parks and recreation, summarized planned and completed upgrades across Salem Park, Browns Mill and a southeast sports complex, including trails, courts, irrigation work, parking repaving and restroom/concession improvements slated for 2025.
Kelly Ledbetter, director of parks and recreation, told the city council that the Parks and Recreation Department has completed and planned several upgrades across Stonecrest parks, with work continuing into 2025.
Ledbetter said Salem Park — described as one of the department’s newest refurbishments — now has added trails, outdoor fitness equipment, an outdoor basketball court, a new picnic shelter and a playground. "We've got a lot of new and exciting things happening, at Salem," Ledbetter said.
She said the department is planning improvements at a southeast recreation complex that include irrigation upgrades to support soccer and football playing fields and repaving of a parking lot to improve safety and accessibility for participants and spectators. At Browns Mill, the department has renovated tennis courts and added pickleball lines, and Ledbetter said the department plans additional playing-field work along with restroom and concession-stand upgrades.
The update did not specify project budgets, contractors, or precise construction timelines beyond noting work is expected in 2025. Ledbetter framed the upgrades as part of the department’s broader health and wellness programming in Stonecrest parks.
City staff did not table or seek formal action during the update; the remarks were presented as an informational project status report.
