3.3 Outdoor Facilities Assessment Ball Diamonds

Table 3-3 lists the Town’s ball diamonds by location, type, uses, and the number of unused weeknight (Monday through Friday) prime time hours at peak use in 2023. Appendix A illustrates scheduled time on individual diamonds.

As indicated in the above table, there is very limited weeknight prime time available on all diamonds. Unused hours, where they exist, are typically spread across at least three nights, providing insufficient time on almost all nights to schedule enough time for a game or practice. Only hardball #1
