Field Improvement Project
GAL is excited to announce a field improvement project in coordination with the City of Minnetonka. GAL is looking to upgrade our softball facility:
- New 6 ft fences - Completed
- Higher fences are better for our outfielders
- Current fences block sight lines for our fans
- 20' Foul Poles
- New batting cages - 2024 Project
- Existing cage is falling apart
- Artificial turf in batting cage
- Dual cages if space allows
- New scoreboard - 2025 Project
- Updated electronics and scoring
- New placement alongside batting cages
This estimated $100,000 project is dependent on a few fundraising efforts to be successful. GAL and the City of Minnetonka will be applying for matching funds from the Hennepin County Sports Program and the Minnesota Twins to cover half the cost of this project. The City of Minnetonka is requesting budget money to cover another portion and is asking GAL to raise $30,000 to be put toward this project.
We need your help to meet our fundraising goals!
