National Little League, which already has the
distinction of being the only Little League in
the country not to charge a registration fee,
will unveil another first Saturday: the first
with artificial turf.
The state-of-the-art Sprinturf field at Olivedale
Park will be dedicated as Colonies Crossroads
Stadium, reflecting a large donation from Colonies
Crossroads Inc. that helped fund the improvements.
Another $140,000 grant was secured through the
San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors to
renovate Bob Hargis Field at Olivedale Park, located
at 550 E. Eighth Street, east of Euclid and west
of Campus.
Not only will the new turf save the city and
the league by conserving water and reducing maintenance
costs, but will rob all players of a traditional
baseball excuse: the bad bounce.
