Dirt work has officially started on the Seneca Ballfield Project!

We’re excited to be part of this project that will bring a new baseball/softball field to the Seneca community. The City of Seneca made the decision to relocate and upgrade one of its existing ballfields, creating space for future utility improvements while adding a new, improved facility for players and fans.

This new field will feature:
-Artificial turf infield with sand and rubber infill
-Natural grass outfield
-New padded backstop and netting
-Updated dugouts
-New concrete sidewalks and seating areas connecting the three-field complex
-New lighting system to keep the field ready for games day and night

We’re proud to help lay the groundwork for a project that will be enjoyed by athletes, families, and the entire Seneca community for years to come. Stay tuned as this project takes shape!
