SARATOGA SPRINGS — City of Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works Chuck Marshall recently announced that construction is underway on the Veterans Memorial Field House project, which includes renovations to the existing building and the construction of a new field house with a concession stand and bathrooms. The revamped facilities will accommodate the playground, splash pad, and large tournaments hosted primarily by Saratoga Miss Softball.
Former DPW Commissioner Anthony “Skip” Scirocco first proposed the project in 2021 as a partnership with Saratoga Miss Softball to create a new fieldhouse that would accommodate growing tournaments and an expanding softball program.
“The Saratoga Miss and Saratoga Thunder softball community is thrilled to see this project under way,” said Alison Gilcreast, president of Saratoga Miss Softball. “We have been diligently working with the city and [CHA Consulting] to design a facility that will elevate our park. From hosting highly competitive tournaments to a full recreation season, girls of all ages and abilities are welcomed at Veterans Memorial Park. Thank you to all those who participated in making this come to fruition. We are excited for the future of Saratoga Softball.”
