Atlanta Braves Open Three New Softball Fields Across Atlanta
As part of its Hank Aaron Diamonds initiative, funded through the Atlanta Braves Foundation’s Henry Louis Aaron Fund, the Atlanta Braves unveiled three new softball fields across Atlanta, including one at Buckhead’s North Atlanta High School, 4111 Northside Parkway NW. The North Atlanta Warriors held a ribbon-cutting for their field on June 17.
Each project includes a new turf infield and other needed facility upgrades designed to create a consistent, durable, and high-quality experience for student-athletes while opening the door for broader use by community-based programs.
