FIELD OF THE YEAR SCHOOLS & PARKS BASEBALL
SFM : Please tell us about your crew , and anything else you would like us to know about your organization and the fields / facilities that you manage ? Heren : We have a local company do some dirt work for us , but essentially it is Coach Smith and me . He is not only a great help on the field , but a better help off the field . He always has my back with any issues — from dads throwing batting practice without consent to teams just “ borrowing ” the field . Having Coach Smith and me as the only caretakers is good and bad . I can control what gets done , but also if it doesn ’ t get done , I know where to find me . In addition to Tom Dedin Field , Providence has two softball fields , two soccer fields , an artificial turf football field , a lower-level baseball field and a 75-acre campus that are in my care .
