Great ready for the new and improved Queen Elizabeth Park
By The Nelson Daily Sports
There’s something happening at Queen Elizabeth Park in Fairview — and it’s not a player belting out a grand slam home run.
But it’s close.
The Nelson and District Baseball Association home park is getting a facelift.
NDBA president Larry Martel said the diamond is getting renovated, much like the project that was completed last year at Lion’s Park in Uphill.
The diamond will be redone along with a fence erected in right field — the new Blue Monster.
Crews have been busy removing the old grassed in ball diamond as well as stripped the vegitation from along the outfield banks.
Martel said work should be completed by mid-September with the field ready for the first pitch in the spring of 2015.
