It was dedicated on August 8th, 2003. The pavilion has picnic tables and a seving kitchen for refreshments and snacks. Local groups can use the pavilion for reunions or other types of meetings. Applications for group rentals are available at the receptionist desk at the town hall.

These diamonds will be used for youth baseball, women and men’s softball and any other groups that wish to use the diamonds.
