Completed in 1994, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 7 feet, serving primarily for flood risk reduction in the area. The dam has a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet and is situated offstream, covering a drainage area of 2.05 square miles.
Despite being in fair condition as of the last assessment in 2017, Panther Lake Ballfield Dam has a high hazard potential and undergoes regular inspections every five years. The dam has been modified structurally in 1995 to enhance its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. While there are no spillways or outlet gates associated with the dam, its presence plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation. With its strategic location and purposeful design, Panther Lake Ballfield Dam stands as a vital infrastructure contributing to water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
