Compared to per dido complex , Navarre, bell view , NEP etc. not-so-much.... County needs to pony-up & make this at least a competing facility. Kids need it as well as parents & grandparents. Commissioner Barry ! are you aware ? Take a ride out to the Perdido complex......what a great facility....and a boon to their area . Very adequate facility……roads in and around complex very poor.

I miss those nights...lots of fun for the community. I'm glad that it is returning though. Now that I have kids of my own, I look forward to possibly getting them involved. On a side note...wasn't Booth field destroyed by one of the Hurricanes? Ivan maybe? My cousin and several friends used to play Booth Field when we were all kids back in the early 90s.

The park was miss managed and could not support the program. The county is not supporting the park financially, the only funds are from donations at this point. To answer some of the questions.

It didn't belong to the church at that time , it belong to Lions Club. We didn't have any help from the county. We paid our own power and water bill. "T" Ball was started at Cantonment while I was President. We had a great group of people that worked hard. We raised half the money and the Loins Club donated the other half for new lights with Wayne Penton, James Lowe and several others doing the installation.

Nice, huge facility, used to have a vibrant turn-out when my sons played there 10-15 yrs. ago. County spent a ton of money on this park. Remember when Cantonment youth sports were using the Baptist Church fields? Really sad that this facility has been dormant. Kudos to the folks who are working to re-establish this site for the kids... Why no baseball in the “Can” for the past 3 yrs.?
