Playground Equipment

New this year will be playground equipment located by the concession stand on softball island. FSI has chosen to support this improvement in order to make the softball complex more family friendly. We will be raising funds to pay for the equipment with our main fund raiser to be the Big Ball Tournament the weekend of July 10-11. This is a project that will enhance the softball complex and make it a safer place for children to play. We would appreciate any thought you may have for fund raising ideas, and any donations that you may want to give specifically to the playground fund.
