Groundbreaking held for baseball/softball fields

East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, Stroud Township Board of Supervisors, Stroudsburg Little League and the ESU Foundation broke ground this spring for new baseball and softball fields at the ESSA & Hughes Field Complex at Creekview Park. The enhancements to the baseball and softball fields will accommodate the ESU Warriors baseball and softball teams and Stroudsburg Little League. The new, state-of-the-art fields are expected to be ready fall 2018 with the help of a fundraising campaign by the ESU Foundation and the department of athletics and a grant from the Local Shareholders Account.
