The facility is used enough to generate quite a bit of revenue for the city.

On Sunday, there weren't any softball games going on, but a couple of teams were renting a field to play Mojokickball.

"Mojokickball is six ball, multi-ball kickball with elements of flag football and tag all mixed in," player Eric Heiberg said.

Regardless of whether you're playing mojokickball or softball, you're bound to notice the condition of the turf.

Kevin Gomillion is the manager for the Athletics Division of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department.

"Any time you have turf and you have people kicking the grass and kicking the dirt, you get depressions and you get drainage issues and all those types of things,” Kevin Gomillion said.

Gomillion said Krieg Field is one of the most heavily used facilities in the city. Soon those who use the complex will be enjoying some big upgrades.

Krieg Field is about to get an almost $900,000 face lift.

For Heiberg and other mojokickball players, that could mean fields that are usable even after a storm.

"When it rains hard on a Friday evening or Saturday evening, we'll come over to field seven or one of these other fields and the fields will just kind of be like a mess, unplayable almost," Heiberg said.

Starting June 1, everyone who uses the fields will have to find another place to play.

Regarding the infields and outfields, adding new irrigation with reclaimed water and improving the turf will take about seven months.

The fields should reopen by the beginning of next year. Austin Water Utility is covering the cost of the park upgrades. Workers with the utility service will be tearing part of it up to install a new underground wastewater tunnel.

The tunnel will increase sewer capacity for Downtown Austin.
