The Wellington City Council approved applying for a Texas Parks and Wildlife grant to fund improvements at Marian Airport facilities for youth. Plans include a new softball and Little League field with stands, concessions, restrooms, a playground, and a soccer field, plus a park area with a walking trail, picnic tables, and landscaping. The project, led by KSA, aims to ease field scheduling, expand facilities built since 1990, and attract youth leaders and families to the new park.
