(KNZA)-- A groundbreaking ceremony was held Sunday afternoon for the construction of a new softball field at Hiawatha's Noble Park.
The ceremony officially kicked off phase two of the multi-phased Hiawatha Championship Sports Complex project.
Taking part in the ceremony were members of the Hiawatha Baseball and Softball Club, Hiawatha Redhawk Softball Team, city officials and the project architects.
Club President Ryan Meiniger said they have raised a majority of the $680,000 cost for phase 2.
The field is to be ready for use in March of next year.
A dedication ceremony was held in May 2023 for phase 1 of the sports complex project--an indoor practice facility known as " The Robinson Center."
Phase 3 is to include renovations to Paul Rockey Field.
