Marlins, MLB, Ripken Foundation renovate Liberty City ball park

Major League Baseball and the Miami Marlins unveiled another 2017 All-Star Legacy project with a dedication ceremony on Saturday, July 8 for the newly-renovated youth baseball field at Charles Hadley Park in Liberty City in Miami-Dade County.

Upgrades to Charles Hadley Park -- which was developed and constructed through the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation -- consisted of a complete renovation of a baseball field, including replacing all fencing and the backstop with new vinyl coated fencing, drainage improvements, installing new dugouts and re-grading the outfield turf. Additional improvements included reconditioning the infield clay, new concrete sidewalks and providing concrete slabs under the dugouts and bleachers.
