Work begins at the Hutcherson YMCA youth baseball field in North Tulsa!

After months of preparation, sorting through red tape, and raising money, we’ve finally broken ground on the construction of a new youth baseball field at the Hucherson YMCA in North Tulsa. LawnAmerica is paving the way to make this happen, with the goal of having a beautiful baseball field ready to play on by next spring. Building fields is not our businsess–we care for turf once it’s down on home and business lawns. But we do have a passion for helping kids, the communities we serve, and I love baseball!

Both of my sons played baseball as kids, starting out in coach pitch (which this field will be used for). My oldest played on a state championship team at Owasso a few years ago, and is now using his eye-hand coordination skill in aiming for Taliban targets off a Marine hummer. My youngest son also played baseball as a kid, but moved into other sports later on. Young kids in North Tulsa do not have access to the nice baseball fields and opportunites to progress in baseball as in other areas of town. So we are just doing our little part to help change that.
