Feel-good stories of this week:
» Owen’s Place Park in Beavercreek soon to get ‘field of dreams’
» Five women staff entire shift for Vandalia police
» First class of UD Flyer Promise Scholars to graduate: ‘I made it. I didn’t do it alone’
» $9M passenger train and rail coming to Carillon Historical Park
Here are three things to know about the project:
The park will be accessible for people of all abilities and includes a baseball and kickball field. Both accessible fields will have artificial turf and will be complete with dug out areas, and construction will start next week.
Owners of the park have been hoping to add this feature for over a year. The Louise Kendig and Wilfred Denton Jones Family Endowment at the Greene County Community Foundation gave a $275,000 grant to Owen’s Place to make the project possible.
There are 84 kids signed up to play on the fields in the fall. The players range from 4-years-old to 41-years-old.
