Raven baseball team making improvements to Walter Johnson Park

November 16, 2011

Progress is being made on several improvements to Walter Johnson Park. In addition to field work including new game and bullpen mounds, the team will be installing a new all net backstop and improving dugouts. The team is also anticipating the completion of a new indoor practice and training facility that should be completed this spring.

Walter Johnson Park is not old by any means, but the Raven baseball team is touching up the home of the Red Ravens. So far this school year, the Ravens have added new dirt and Turface have been added to the field. Also, the program has installed a new game mound, new bullpen mounds and a  new home plate to the park.

Additional improvements planned for the park include installing an all net backstop, putting in a turf halo around the home plate area, and putting in cement and turf in front of each dugout with railings at the front of the dugout.

In addition, a new indoor practice facility is under construction next door to the Dick Foster Athletic Complex in LeClere Park. This new indoor facility is expected to be completed this spring.
