Baseball & Little League at Palmer Park
It had been 15 years since Little Leaguers played at Palmer Park. That changed on April 27, 2013, Opening Day in Palmer Park, with eight Middle School teams playing ball and having a ball. The boys and girls competed for about eight hours as they kick off the season for Legends Baseball League. It was the first time in years that organized baseball had been played in Palmer Park, and reflects a partnership with the city of Detroit and two nonprofits, People for Palmer Park and Courageous Inc., which organize and fund the baseball league. Legends grew from eight teams in its first year to 11 its second year, 2014.
Volunteers from People for Palmer Park and other groups have worked hard to prepare for baseball’s return to the park along Woodward Avenue just north of McNichols (6 Mile Rd). Eventually, PFPP wants to replace the diamond and install new lighting, since wiring was stolen by scrappers. NEW 2017 SPRING SCHEDULES POSTED BELOW! 14U Spring Division
