The proposal from Colorado Classic Baseball is largely consistent with the park master plan, which can be found at CRgov.com/CobblestoneRanchPark.
The Town reached out to area residents in 2019 to begin the park master-planning process. The process involved several opportunities for public feedback. Once complete, the master plan was presented to Town Council for approval. Among other elements, the Cobblestone Ranch Park Master Plan includes four softball, two soccer and two baseball fields, with the potential for a recreation-based building. Within the plan, the fields are envisioned to be located along Castle Oaks Drive, away from existing homes, in response to public comments received during the planning process.
Colorado Classic Baseball is proposing to construct six baseball fields in the same area as the eight fields identified in the master plan, with the exception of two proposed fields east of the entry road. In the master plan, this area is shown as an orchard and parking. The proposed fields at this location are located at the greatest distance from nearby homes. The orchard and parking envisioned in the master plan could be accommodated to the north if fields are constructed there as proposed.
If six fields are constructed, over 120 undeveloped park acres would remain for other yet-to-be-developed master plan amenities. This area could also remain undeveloped.
