Wicomico Launches Unique Baseball Field Project

SALISBURY – Wicomico County Recreation & Parks launched a capital campaign for the Project 7 ½ initiative at the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex in Salisbury on Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Announced in the spring, Project 7 ½ is designed to provide individuals with physical or mental disabilities the opportunity to play the sport of baseball.

With a proposed location between existing fields 7 & 8 at the Henry S. Parker Athletic Complex, field 7 ½ would serve as a host facility for Challenger Little League on the Eastern Shore and include other special needs programs.

Capital campaign funds will be combined with funding from Wicomico County and a State of Maryland Project Open Space grant for field construction and the addition of inclusive playground equipment, sensory trail and legacy areas.
