Eagle Project
SYA has entered into its third Eagle Scout project in the last several years. This year, Ben Campbell, a Westfield High School student and SYA participant, initiated an Eagle Scout project and presented the idea to the SYA Board of Directors. The project was to build a walking bridge over the creek that heads toward the back side of the SYA property. This project was multi purposeful. First, the SYA has been working to expand our reach of the Fields of Dreams complex past the first 5 fields that we presently have. One of the efforts is to find a way to cross the creek, hence the bridge. The second part is that the SYA Cross Country program is looking to expand their current 1 mile course at the complex to a larger course and this bridge opens that door to the additional 80 acres of land that we own behind the current ball fields. We are very excited to have been a part of Ben's wonderful experience and outstanding community service efforts. Please see more in our 2010 section.

April 2010
Efforts to improve our Fields of Dreams continue. The most recent effort is the result of input from you, the SYA FOD users. As users, it is important to pay attention to what is working, what is not working, what is needed, and what we can afford to do. As a result of concerns submitted through various channels, we have purchased and installed reflector poles for our parking lot railroad ties. Please read & see more in our 2010 section.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another important issue is the safety of all users of the Fields of Dreams. Anytime that you are at a ballpark there is the possibility of balls leaving one ballfield and ending up on or around another. We have positioned several signs around the park to remind you to keep your eyes open for errant balls and other objects in, outside of, and around the fields. Please make sure that you are safe while using the fields.

The Fields of Dreams development project continues to push forward. New trash receptacles have now been installed. Along with this comes a trash service which will pick up and replace the liners regularly. Please read & see more in our 2010 section.

Please also note the following policy for pets at your Fields of Dreams:
All pets must be on a leash and remain AT LEAST 15 feet from the fields at all times(NEVER to be ON the fields), controlled by someone who can restrict it's movements (ie not a child), and any waste must be cleaned up and taken with you.
