A brand-new home for our All Stars and Buddy Baseball programs at Darryl F. Lindberg Park has officially reached home base. ⚾️ Home Base Sports Fields features two baseball diamonds with accessible playing surfaces and dugouts, along with an updated parking lot, paved paths and a pavilion. All designed for a more inclusive experience for all.

This new space creates equal opportunities to play in a place where every participant can feel welcome. Thank you to Senator Dave Syverson, our Therapeutic Recreation families and supporters, and Schmeling Construction Company for your support in making this project possible!

After 7 incredible years with us, we said a bittersweet goodbye to Stephan as he heads to Michigan to begin an exciting new chapter as a Recreational Therapist on a psychiatric unit!

We are so grateful for the time, dedication, compassion, and creativity he has shared with our team and the individuals we serve. His impact over these past 7 years has been felt by so many, and we’re certainly going to miss having him as part of our team.

Congratulations on this exciting next step, Stephan!! Michigan is lucky to have you! We wish you nothing but success in this new adventure.
