A much needed addition to the park! Thanks to Tom Orsund Memorial for the donation and to the great Village staff for the base design and work over the last week in getting it up!

Village Staff installed lights on the T-ball field last week. The poles were once used on County Road KK and new lights were purchased. There are now two poles with a total of 4 new lights shining on the t-ball field.

Village staff have recently completed the work to the infield at Nelson Park getting the field ready for the first game of the year. The infield was stripped of extra “lip” material that prevented drainage, and 9 loads of new infield mix was brought in. This extended the infield and should allow for better drainage. All the sprinkler heads have been adjusted, and new foul poles (donated by Legacy Steel) were installed on Monday. Bases will be set this week or early next (rain needs to hold off for a few days).

Continue to stay off the infield while this work is completed!

Finishing touches at Freddie’s and Nelson Park! This week, new infield mix was placed and graded and bases have been marked and will be set on Monday by the Village. Special thanks to Dale and Deb Jastromski, Scott Chandler, Keith Dambroski and Joe Orsund for your help in laying out the field today!

Thanks to the Tom Orsund Memorial Foundation for purchasing new bases, plate and pitchers rubber for the updated field

Please stay off the field until work is complete.

Finishing touches are in progress on the building. Inside the fence field work is being planned for completion yet this fall so we are ready for a grand opening in the spring. For anyone interested in seeing progress to date, we will be holding an open house on Oct 19th.

Lots of progress in the park this week. Signage went up today! We are hoping to have a dedication ceremony in mid-october. Stay tuned as we finalize that date.

Here is an update from the Village along with some pictures: “The waterline is in and the footing for the parking lot wall is in. The parking lot has now been ripped out as well.”
