Turf Renovation Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Turf Renovation Ribbon Cutting 
March 23, 2024
11:00 am 
Warrenton Athletic Complex, 2015 Jaspering Lane
FREE EVENT

The City of Warrenton will hold a celebratory ribbon cutting for the newly- updated turf baseball fields on March 23, 2024, at 11:00 am. The ceremony will take place at Baseball Fields A, B, C, and D, located in the Warrenton Athletic Complex, and is open to the public.

We at the City of Warrenton have long realized the economic and social impact the Warrenton Athletic Complex has on our community. That is why the city is extremely proud to have partnered with Game 7 on this project, it is a win for the Warrenton Athletic Complex, youth of our community, and all the citizens of Warrenton. The facility’s upgrades include revamped infields fitted with new synthetic turf and an underground drainage system to provide a top-notch playing experience. Construction on the renovations began in October 2023 and was completed in early March 2024, just in time for the upcoming baseball season.

In attendance at the event will be STL Youth Sports Outreach, an organization that ensures no child is denied the chance to play a sport due to the high price of equipment. With them they will have a trailer full of new and lightly used sports equipment to give out to Warrenton families in need.  They will offer a trade-up program, if your child needs a larger size cleat, bat, or helmet bring them your old one and they will replace it with the size you need. If you do not have any equipment to trade-in they will still help, free of cost. This will be on a first come, first serve basis, and the sizes are limited. Also, on site we will have local businesses hosting booths as well as a Kona Ice Truck.

Members of the community are encouraged to come celebrate. Following brief remarks and the ribbon-cutting, free refreshments (hotdogs and chips) will be available for those in attendance.
