Field of Dreams for Vineyard Baseball

Managed by the Vineyard Baseball Park Project Committee

The creation of a second full size baseball diamond on Martha’s Vineyard had been conceptualized over 6 years ago. Thanks to the year-round volunteer efforts by the Vineyard Baseball Park Project Committee, our Field of Dreams is becoming a reality. The continual development of youth baseball on the island is dependent upon the efforts of these volunteers. The VBPP has fundraised and received enough donated labor and materials to oversee construction of a major league size baseball field complete with fencing & irrigation. It is now time for phase two of the project:
