The Fields

The biggest undertaking to begin this ministry has been to turn a plot of land into two fields. Here is the photographic journey of the transformation.

Here are a couple of pictures that show the field before construction started (do not be fooled, although in the pictures it looks like beautiful grass most of it is weeds 11/09/2014)
    
Picture #1 - From what is the backstop of field #1
Picture #2 - From the right field foul line of field #1
Picture #3 - From right field of field #1 looking at what was the original backstop

The next pictures show the construction that took place for the backstops and dugouts (01/04/2015).

Here are the dugouts, fencing, and backstops painted (the colors are coordinated to keep an uniform feel to the other buildings on the mission property 01/30/2015)

Picture #12 - Behind the backstop of field #1 (you can see that the grass that was planted in right field is coming in nicely!)

Later we added a bodega (storage unit) and seating benches on the first and third base lines (04/16/2015).
