Whitey Ford Field Clean-Up On Sept 17

Please help Friends of Whitey Ford Field during their Volunteer Clean-Up Day on Sunday, September 17 from 10 am to 1 pm. Supplies and tools will be provided.  A couple of hours of your time can make a big difference to this local park with a lot of heart!

The Friends just received a Capacity Fund Grant from Partnerships for Parks and is looking forward to building its base and launching a new softball tournament in the Spring of 2018. Neil Herdan, Chairperson, Friends of Whitey Ford Field, said of the grant: “We are only just getting started!”
