Facilities and Community Investment
Building the Future of LAA
Planned improvements, projects under consideration and opportunities for the LAA family to help shape stronger facilities for our athletes.
Our Vision
Every LAA season runs on the same fields, cages and courts our kids have used for years. As the association grows, so does our responsibility to keep those spaces safe, well-drained and ready for the next generation of players. This page is where we share our facilities plans openly, invite the whole LAA family into the decisions, and show families, sponsors and Middletown Township exactly where things stand.
