The Fond du lac city council has approved a proposal to allow
the construction of two new youth baseball diamonds at Lakeside Park. At
their meeting Wednesday night the council vote was five to two in favor with councilmembers
Karen Merkel and Dan Manning voting
against. They wanted to table the
proposal given concerns raised by youth soccer and Fond du lac Festivals. Ryan Haus says the diamonds would be located along
Harborview Drive between Main and Doty Streets. Haus says each diamond would be fully or partially enclosed
with 225 foot fences. Haus says there is an extreme need for more quality baseball
diamonds in Fond du lac with a high number of kids playingbaseball and a
growing youth girl’s softball program. Haus says a fundraising campaign would pay for the project. He says the cost of each field is about $35,000.
