NEGAUNEE, MI— Negaunee’s LaCombe Softball Field officially reopened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week.
A number of improvements were made at the field, including the construction of universally accessible dugouts and sidewalks, installation of ADA-compliant ramps, and the addition of new accessible parking spaces. The project was supported by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Public Spaces Community Places grant program. It matched more than $50,000 in local donations.
LaCombe Field is a venue for numerous community events, including the Renee Thomas Memorial Tournament, the Iron Range Women's League, the Old Timers game, the Co-Ed League, and the Alumni Softball Tournament.
