Vision Park Investment
Proceeds from Eddie's Classic will be going back into the maintenance and upgrading of the Vision Park Facility.
Vision Park is one of the world's largest ball diamond facilities with 24 diamonds, a tournament central building, and an events "hangar". Future plans for the facility include upgrading a few diamonds for fastball, fixing some drainage issues in the lower diamonds, adding a new permanent washroom facility, replacing some fencing, and other regular maintenance.
We have a world-class facility and we want to make is shine! Edson has always been known for it's baseball/slo-pitch and we want to ensure we have the proper facility to showcase that passion.
