These upgrades are set to give young players a safer, better place to enjoy the game. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and what’s coming next for this beloved local sports facility.
What’s New at Altamont Little League?
Young athletes at Altamont Little League have something big to cheer about. The junior field has been newly extended, fitted with fresh artificial turf, and given a brand-new 20-foot outfield fence. These changes are not just about looks – they make the field safer and more fun for everyone who plays.
The community will officially celebrate these upgrades with a special event, where a ceremonial first pitch will be thrown. This event is happening on Saturday, April 12, at Altamont Little League, located at 8300 Eubank Blvd NE.
