This will become an impressive addition to the park, especially during tournaments, where news and game updates will flash across the message board for the benefit of the participants. Another dozen white seamed rubber softballs were purchased to add to the ball bucket. The swimming pool got a new liner and has brightened up the park. This year plans will include an upgrade of the lighting system for night games. This spring the Leominster High School Varsity Softball Team will continue to take batting practice at Freebones Park.
Individual players can also come over to take some extra hitting if they desire.
A scary thing happened to me one day as I was setting up my pitching machine for the high school softball team to take batting practice at Freebones Park. This caused a major problem. Usually when the feeder plate gets moved backward the control panel is protected at the top of the machine when it is rolled. I realized this too late and I had a broken pitching machine 15 minutes before the team was to arrive to hit. I decided to plug the machine in anyway to see if it would still work.
