Fall Machine Pitch
We want to share some updates about this year’s fall baseball season and inform you about potential impacts from the upcoming City Park Remaster Project.
The project is scheduled to begin in June or July. Depending on the timeline and construction activities, the fall baseball season may need to be adjusted or, in some cases, may not take place this year.
We recognize how valuable this program is to our community and will keep you updated as more information becomes available. Please check the next newsletter and visit our website for the latest updates on the fall baseball season and park project.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to improve our park facilities.
