Council of the Municipality of Murrysville - Jun 3, 2026
The school district is converting the Haymaker Park ball field to synthetic turf with upgraded bleachers, dugouts, and batting cages. American Legion baseball may play there in 2027, and the area could become a bigger community asset.

Planning Commission - Apr 14, 2026
The high school baseball field would get synthetic turf, new dugouts, batting cages, and a two-story press box/storage building, with stormwater managed under the field. Tabled until outstanding engineering comments are resolved.
Council of the Municipality of Murrysville - Feb 4, 2026
Buying a $20,465 sprayer/spreader tractor lets Public Works fertilize all municipal fields itself instead of contracting out, paying for itself in about two years. Youth sports groups like NASA and FRA, who currently pay roughly half of the ~$25,000 annual cost, should see lower fees.

Field improvements with stormwater details nearly settled; only the weir detail and conservation district sign-off remain.
SP-1-26, Eat'n Park Relocation Land Development
Adds outdoor dining and a smoother pickup traffic pattern in the plaza; the old restaurant building will be cut to 3,000 square feet or less, potentially freeing parking.
