Always a great day out, support the local community in many ways. Either by parking @ Boys/Girls Club lot, paying a local to park on their property and enjoying all the happy volunteers selling food etc.
The improvements are amazing! Everyone has a area to enjoy the game, the accessible areas have increased and there is an elevator for public use to get to the elevated boardwalk area. Thank You to all that made the improvements happen!
