Hattiesburg opens new batting cages at Vernon Dahmer Park
Hattiesburg opens batting cages at Vernon Dahmer Park By Melissa Rademaker | January 8, 2021 at 7:13 PM CST - Updated January 8 at 7:13 PM
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Friday was a busy day at Vernon Dahmer Park where the city of Hattiesburg unveiled brand new batting cages with a ribbon-cutting.
The batting cages are a “Your Penny at Work” project funded by the 1% sales tax on restaurants, hotels and motels to improve facilities across the city.
“For so many in our city, having a place where you can go and work on your craft and you can go and work on your swing and go through the process of learning the game, it’s been hard to do,” Mayor Toby Barker said.
