ROSWELL, GA -- Next week, the city of Roswell will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open its new adaptive therapeutic sports field.

The event will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 16 at Waller Park Extension at 160 Dobbs Drive. The public is invited to attend the ceremony, which will be followed by an adaptive-sports demonstration by Blaze Sports at 11 a.m.

Dubbed the Rotary Dream Field in recognition of Roswell Rotary Club’s $60,000 contribution toward its construction, the new field features a synthetic turf that will allow wheelchairs and walkers to move freely.

The installation of this field allows Roswell to expand its adaptive programs to include athletics such as youth baseball and softball, as well as to enhance the sport and recreation experiences of individuals attending the adaptive Summer Friendship Camps.

The total project cost was approximately $105,000. In addition to Roswell Rotary Club’s donation, the Roswell Recreation Association contributed $25,000, and a private donor put forth $16,000 toward the project. The remaining funds were donated by the Friends of the Roswell Parks, Inc.
