Morrison Park Revitalized!

In just two weeks,  Westwood will celebrate completion of Phase I of the revitalization of Morrison Park!   Through a public/private partnership with Westwood Little League, the center of Islington will soon sport:

•  a new regulation Little League field
•  improvements to the softball field and 
•  a brand new, state of art lighted tennis court

The process of bringing these improvements involved thousands of hours of volunteer time, generous leadership donors, grassroots support throughout the community, donations from local businesses and close coordination among many people.  

Work on Phase II will begin this August after the baseball season and will include a scorers' booth, restrooms (to allow permanent removal of the portable facility at the Park), a new concession stand and a new, dedicated entrance to the park.   The result of all this work will be improved playing opportunities for youth athletes and community residents  -- and  enhanced green space surrounded by carefully designed and constructed structures. 

Two events on the immediate horizon:

• April 27 Annual Community Little League Parade (details emailed to players from coordinators).
• April 28 Friends of Morrison Host  Ladies Afternoon Out to Benefit Morrison  at  Chiara, Westwood  12:00 to 2:30 (details and tickets available on westwoodlittleleague.com -- please order by April 22.  The event includes fine food by Executive Chef Steven LaCount of Chiara and wine tastings by Matt Carroll owner of theMedfield Wine Shoppe on 109 in Medfield and more!  Please join the Friends of Morrison to help celebrate the completion of Phase I and to help complete the fundraising needed for Phase II!
