A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Thursday for the unveiling of upgrades at the Lagoon Park Softball Complex.

Of the $2.4 million in upgrades, five fields were converted to fast pitch softball fields and received new backstop netting. Permanent outfield fencing was also installed and the fields were re-sodded.

Spectators and fans in attendance will have the opportunity to use a new shelter pavilion, providing relief from the elements at the facility.

A new covered batting cage complete with a turf surface and lights was also built.

Umpire locker rooms with showers and restrooms, as well as renovations to the main restrooms connected to the concession stand, round out the list of improvements.

McKee & Associates served as the architect for the project, while Beasley Construction was the general contractor for the project.

The work was completed in February.
