WHAT | Grand opening of three cricket fields | |
WHERE | John Paul Landing Park, 24502 West Road in Cypress |
Cricket, a bat-and-ball game similar to baseball, is played on oblong fields with wickets instead of bases and a pitch instead of a mound. It is the second most popular sport in the world, after soccer.
The project is the third sports field project undertaken by Precinct 4 this year. Commissioner Cagle recently opened pickleball courts at Weekley Community Center and broke ground on soccer pitches at Burnett Bayland Park in Gulfton, in addition to beginning work on an Asian-style pavilion at Arthur Storey Park.
Visitors can access the new fields at 24502 West Road in Cypress.
