This past summer, King County Parks completed improvements at Petrovitsky Park, resurfacing playfields 1 and 2 with new and improve turf, combining them into one, large field. Additional improvements include repainting lines for multiple sports, including the existing youth, junior, and adult soccer, and now cricket.
