Trail City Council has signed off on $450-thousand worth of improvements to Andy Bilesky Park.
The money is already set aside in the 2027 budget to prepare the little league baseball diamond for the 2028 Canadian Championships.
The host committee is expected to raise half of that through grants from other levels of government.
The work planned for 2027 includes field leveling, fence repairs or replacement and improvements to the backstop.
The report tabled at the city council meeting also says Trail Little League will raise additional funds for improvements to the media tower and concession stand.
A local committee recommended against moving the event to either Pople or Haley Parks because of probable delays in the fund raising and field preparation processes.
The committee also pointed out they are used for minor soccer, softball and slo-pitch leagues.
Staff suggested extra parking during the national championships could be available at the nearby church.
Minor renovations are planned for Bilesky Park before Trail hosts the 2026 provincial championships.
