Build Better Fields

Build Better Fields We are here to help. Our mission is to re-vitalize and restore fields for kids to play on.

Over the years it has become very apparent that youth baseball fields in the city and county have deteriorated due to lack of staff and/or funds to upkeep them.

ANNOUNCEMENT! The small field at Hillside Park is done and the Mayor will be doing a ribbon cutting this Thursday (tomorrow) at 4pm. We will be dedicating the scoreboard as well as the field name. There will be two baseball games played and a food truck courtesy of MP Coney Island! Would love to see all the sponsors that can make it for proper recognition!

What an evening! Dicks Sporting Goods Foundation was a huge part of the first two fields and they are stepping up again for Hillside Park. They hosted a huge group of 50+ kids to their testing facility at the Millcreek Mall while they got to eat pizza and ice cream! Grand Slam is an understatement. Thank you!

GRAND SLAM, $5000 donation! Dark Water does some amazing things! Thank you April and Mark!

Dark Water Properties LLC recognizes and appreciates the sacrifices made every day by our nation's active-duty military personnel and veterans. Our "Fear Nothing" motto reflects the belief that no challenge is too great to overcome, no adversary too strong, and that a single individual can make a meaningful difference. Freedom is not free. It often requires tremendous dedication, courage, and, at times, the ultimate sacrifice. Dark Water Properties LLC is proud to support the men and women of our armed forces as they return home and continue serving their communities.

Mark and April Patrizia understand the importance of service and sacrifice and want our military members and veterans to know they have our respect, gratitude, and support. While Dark Water Properties LLC is not a charitable organization, it serves as an expression of appreciation and a vehicle for making a positive impact in communities both locally and across the nation. We believe that even the smallest beginnings can create lasting change and that meaningful contributions, no matter their size, can have a profound long-term impact on the lives of others.
