Activity Updates -Now that winter has made an appearance some projects are wrapping up for the year
and others axe just getting started. Even though we got lots of xain in October and November,there was a
short window of dry weathex that allowed us to get the garden plots tilled this fall. T'hat tilling occurred on
Novembex 9 & 10. This fall,work sta,rted on xepair of the batting cage at Jaycee Park. All of the larger
frame posts were straightened and the smallex, more badly bent posts were removed. Those smallex posts
will be replaced and a new batting cage net will be hung in the spring.Work at Ailesbury Park (foxmerly
Prestwick Park) has ended fox the yeax. All of the asphalt trails have been completed and much of the
concxete work has been done. 'The posts fox the backstop have been installed and the concrete woxk
around the backstop is done. Weathex permitting,the fencing on the backstop will be hung this winter.
The final grading, seeding,and landscaping will be accomplished next spring. The tempoxary rink has
been installed at Jaycee Park and is ready for ice making, and the warming shelter fox Bloomfield PaYk was
