Duluth accepts donation to replace park irrigation pump

The Duluth City Council recently accepted a donation of $19,000 from the Atlanta Fire United Soccer Association for the replacement of its irrigation pump at Scott Hudgens Park, 4545 River Green Parkway. The old irrigation pump had surpassed its life expectancy. The new pump will be used for maintaining the safe playing conditions at the park’s soccer complex.

The Atlanta Fire United Soccer Association has operated youth soccer at the Scott Hudgens Park since the early 1990’s. Duluth entered into a long-term usage agreement with the Department of Natural Resources prior to entering into a long-term usage agreement with Atlanta Fire United in 1999. Per the agreement, the soccer association is responsible for park maintenance and program operations for youth soccer.
