The softball association is <br />short of fields and requested an additional 2 nights usage at Bederwood, which would be <br />traded with the baseball association to free up 2 nights at Long Lake’s Holbrook Field for <br />softball. After discussion, the Park Commission voted for the recommendation ot one <br />more night (Wednesday) to accommodate the softball association to alleviate the <br />shortage problem The Commission had recommended a yearly review in hope that other <br />communities would address the problem. <br />Gociten asked McMillan how many nights are currently being u.sed at Bederwood for <br />baseball and was told 2 nights, Tuesdays and Thursdays McMillan said Bedeivvood has <br />a dirt infield, along with a pitching mound, both of which are designated tor baseball use. <br />McMillan said the Commission felt the trade was fair as the City does not accommodate <br />the softball need. Registration is beginning at this time for the upcoming season
