November 17, 2025
The Independent
Petrolia’s Morrison Field – the main ball diamond at Greenwood Park – is getting an upgrade, thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
The town has received $42,500 to replace the batting cage and bleachers at the park.
Julie Bullock, director of parks and recreation, says the batting cage has been inoperable for many years and the bleachers were “showing signs of disrepair.”
Bullock says the bleachers have been purchased and will soon be installed in the place of the old bleachers.
The town has also been working with local companies to prepare repair or alter the current batting cage frame so it can be fitted with netting. It will be purchased this year and installed in the spring.
