Fall Softball League
The fall Adult Softball League program came with some challenges this season. Due to a
large number of rainouts the fall league began several weeks later than planned. Despite the
late start the fall weather has actually been cooperative, and the league is scheduled to be
completed on Monday,November 7. Running the fall softball league into November is not
a common occurrence.
Orono Skate Park Project
Spohn Ranch Skateparks is currently working on the construction documents for the Orono
Park Skatepark. At our most recent check-in they indicated that the document production is
proceeding as planned. The 90% construction documents are expected to be delivered to
the City by mid-November.
