For the first time, America’s pastime made its way to the brand new Pella Sports Park.

Community Services Director Jeanette Vaughan tells KNIA/KRLS Monday evening was opening night for youth baseball and softball programs.

“I can’t tell you how excited we are to see everybody out here and to see the kids having a good time and just how excited they are to be out here at the complex,” Vaughan says.

Kids got to practice on four of the five fields and also worked on their swings in new batting cages.

Fields of our Future, the group responsible for a majority of the funds spent on the project, will hold a grand opening May 3rd.
