OAKLAND, Maine (AP) - A mini version of Fenway Park in Maine is getting a $600,000 makeover that will give even more youth the opportunity to use the field.
The renovations include new all-purpose artificial turf for the Harold Alfond Mini Fenway Park that is expected to be in place in May.
The Morning Sentinel (https://bit.ly/1iZW22d ) reports that the enhancements will enable softball, Babe Ruth-level baseball and other sports including soccer and field hockey to be played in the park, located in Oakland.
The park is a two-thirds scale exact replica of Boston’s famed Fenway, the oldest and smallest park in the majors.
It opened in 2007 and serves hundreds of children a year through baseball leagues and summer camps.
About $500,000 of the $600,000 has been raised.
