The city announced Tuesday that construction is underway.
Upgrades will include putting in two grass fields for soccer or lacrosse, as well as six new pickleball courts.
The plan also includes adding turf to the baseball and softball fields. The new look could mean more athletic events in Dayton.
Some areas may be closed to the public during construction.
The project is expected to be completed by August 2026.
