Fall Machine Pitch
We want to keep our community informed about an important update regarding this year’s fall baseball season. Due to the upcoming City Park Remaster Project, construction is anticipated to begin in June or July. Unfortunately, the scale of improvements means that the fall baseball season will not take place this year, as park access and field availability will be impacted throughout the summer and fall.
We understand how valuable this program is to our community, and this decision was made to ensure everyone’s safety and to allow for the completion of park upgrades that will enhance future programs and activities. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to create an even better park for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for Corcoran Parks and Recreation. We look forward to welcoming players back to the fields in the future!
