TULSA, Okla â An entire community is teaming up to revitalize Tulsa s very own Lacy Park Ballpark.
Robert Pearson remembers growing up in the 1950 s playing at Lacy Park Ballfield in North Tulsa.
At the time the ballpark was known as Lincoln Park and it was home to Tulsa s all black semi-pro team, The Tulsa T-Tow Clowns.
Now a sandlot baseball club, the Tulsa Drillers, and other community members are working together to make a much-needed make-over happen.
The organizers behind the project are passionate about baseball, and they tell 2 News they re very excited about the renovations.

Fifty years ago Blue Peter buried objects in a time capsule capturing the imagination of children and adults. Nick Richards looks back at similar projects on a local level
As ideas for recording the past go, a time capsule is a wonderfully cheap and engaging way of documenting a period of time for future generations to marvel at.
