The city reversed their decision and our kids are back on the field at Woodlawn Park where they belong. Keep a close eye on the park maintenance schedule to ensure they honor this agreement moving forward.
Recently the Wilmington Department of Parks and Recreation came to a decision that The Roberto Clemente Baseball League will not be allowed to play at Woodlawn Park. If you know anything about RC, you know that our league basically built Woodlawn Park. We raised $60,000 to put lights at the field, we also raised thousands to build the concession stand, and the field became a landmark in the city due to the efforts of our league. Our kids deserve the right to be able to play at this field. Currently one team from another league plays on this field. So basically 150 kids are being pushed to the side. Right now we need everyones help. We need parents, former players, sponsors, coaches, fans and followers of RC to stand up for our league. We will be passing around a petition, we need as much support as we can get. Also this Monday we are holding an emergency meeting at the LACC at 6:30. We need EVERYONE to come to this meeting. If we dont stand up for our kids and our league, who will?
The momentum is building and the city is starting to take notice of our league. Text three friends right now and tell them to show up at the LACC meeting this Monday. We need a packed house to show them that Woodlawn Park belongs to our kids.

RC is a pillar of this community. You cant just take away a home field from 150 kids. Disgusting behavior by the parks dept.

This makes no sense. The league put up the money for those lights so they should be able to use the field. Leave RC alone.

My son has played here for 3 years and he loves it. Why kick them off now? Keep Woodlawn for the kids who built it.

Unbelievable. The concession stand was built by our own pockets. Give it back to RC.
