Here is some information to assist you:

Lorenzi Park has been our Las Vegas Senior Softball Association home for more than 20 years.  We come from all over the city to participate in practice, recreational play and tournaments 5 days each week.  It is our playground.  With the sudden and swift conversion of 2 diamonds to soccer fields we have pleaded for a plan re-establish a 4-plex in the CLV with restrooms.

Money is not the only issue when it comes to Recreation.  It is a quality of life service to provide our citizens choices and opportunities to play in venues whether active or passive.  As longtime taxpayers, we want to enjoy our days in the fresh air while building and maintaining friendships.

At this stage in our lives, time is of the essence.  How many more years will we be able to play?  Only God knows.  We ask for our 300 members and those who will follow.
