Park Clean-Up
Park Clean-Up
DATE TBD SOON!
-Park clean up will be one week in April. During practice while the coaches and players are practicing, we are asking that parents grab a rake/ shovel and help rake the area between the ball diamonds, the concession stand, the bathrooms and the shelter house. These are the areas that youth baseball and softball use the most. In the past, if everyone "chips in" the park and ball diamonds will be ready for games the 1st week of May.
-Coaches and the players will pick up sticks and limbs out in the outfield on the diamonds they are practicing on.
-Rakes and shovels are located in the equipment shed if they are not already out. Please place raked debris into the trailer! Brad Pottkotter will be out there most nights to help coordinate, if not just find a rake and start helping!
-In addition to the youth program helping clean the park, the Ridgedale Senior class will also be helping clean the park on Friday, April 21st. This activity is coordinated between Ridgedale Schools, Village of Morral and Ridgedale Baseball & Softball for Youth!
