‘New chapter of baseball’: ball field gets upgrade funding
Kelowna has received a grant of $72,500 from the Jays Care Foundation to upgrade the baseball fields at Edith Gay Park.
The city, in partnership with the Central Okanagan Minor Baseball Association, will provide an equal amount.
The upgrades are expected to begin in May and be completed by next April.
“Demand for our sports fields and ball diamonds continues to rise as our population grows and we are excited to provide upgrades like this that help make our facilities better and more accessible while supporting our local sport organizations,” Doug Nicholas, the city’s sport and event services manager, said. “We are so grateful for the support of both Jays Care Foundation and COMBA and we’re looking forward to getting these upgrades started in the coming days.”
