Softball Announcement

The spring season of adult softball is coming soon, but a bit later than in past years. Late in the fall, one of the field’s light poles fell during a strong storm. After an inspection of the other poles, it was determined that some of the remaining poles could also stand to be replaced. As a result, Parks & Recreation decided to take down the existing poles and lights and put up in their place new, taller poles, and more modern lighting.

This project has been delayed by the very wet late winter that we have had, but it will be underway soon. Unfortunately, it will mean that the start of the spring season will have to be delayed. The best case scenario would see the season begin sometime around the beginning of May. That is about a month later than in years past. If we were able to start about that time, the season would be a full, normal-length season. It would just mean that we would be playing later into the summer, when the weather is hotter, and that there would be little, if any, break between the spring and fall seasons. (For some of you, this last point is not a negative.) If the lights are not ready until later in the spring, probably what we would do is have one, longer season of softball, rather than the two, shorter seasons we have customarily offered.

So please be patient, and hope for some drier weather. Softball will be here before you know it, and it will include new and improved lighting that will mean safer playing conditions for everyone.

Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
