I live by Mary Benson Park (behind the school on Merseles) and have always enjoyed its out-of-the-way calm. I've played a few random games of softball there, too, and watched kids warm up with their friends and the like.

Is there an official way to "book" or reserve the field? I'd love to host a little softball party with some friends and play a friendly game or two, but I'm worried we'll get there and find a team has already booked it or that we can't play without registering somewhere.

I did some googling/jc-listing, but haven't had any luck yet.

Numbers and emails appreciated! Thanks for your help!
