The City of Key West is pleased to announce that the newly refurbished George Mira Field on 14th Street is already supporting our youth, and it’s beautiful! The City Commission approved the renovation of the Rosa Hernandez Girl’s Softball Field, and it was completed in January, just in time for the girls to play their 30th season on a beautiful new surface. The George Mira Field was next as part of the City’s efforts to improve green and recreational spaces. The City is working to transition to artificial turf for ballfields. They are easier to maintain and provide a better surface for the people using them. This turf is composed of organic material, unlike some types of artificial turf that are made of rubber. That means the fields will be the same temperature as grass ballfields.  |
