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.

Thanks to hard working moms and dads…all three active fields saw action today, enjoyed sunshine, and sang the Star Spangled Banner with some competition and friendship.
