Little League Park in Boynton Beach, Fla., recently underwent a major renovation after being destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. With little league players and their families unable to rebuild the facility, the league turned to ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Extreme Makeover: Home Edition?EUR??,,????'?????<?.
In February, the city?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s wish came true as producers of the popular home-remodeling show rolled into Boynton Beach to surprise the community and take on the four day project. In their quest to create a state-of-the-art ballpark, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition relied on the hard work of more than 1,000 people ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) and the expertise of several companies in turf maintenance.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?This was a tremendous gift to the league,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Boynton Beach Mayor Jerry Taylor. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?With all the storm damage, we didn?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t know how we could possibly bring the fields into play for the season. I still can?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t get over it.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
With expertise in the sports fields and grounds market, The Toro Company stepped up to help reconstruct the field, install a new Toro irrigation system, and provide equipment to support the renovation. To supply the equipment, Toro worked with Deerfield Beach-based Hector Turf, one of its distributors in turf maintenance equipment. Together, they provided several Toro utility vehicles to transport equipment and material around the facility; a Line Painter 1200 to mark the field and paint the team?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s logo in the outfield; a sprayer to soak the turf and infield; and the Infield Pro???????(R)???? 3040 to prepare the infield. Toro also provided valuable onsite expertise. Boyd Montgomery, CSFM, SCPS, sports field and grounds district sales manager at Toro, donated countless hours on the project and played an instrumental role in making sure the field was built to specification.
It also was important to Toro to look beyond the completion of the project, and provide the facility with the tools to maintain the field?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s professional look with little effort. To keep the field in excellent playing condition, Toro donated to Little League Park a new Infield Pro???????(R)???? 3040 with four separate attachments, along with a complete Toro irrigation system.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?We probably have the most outstanding field in the country, as far as little league goes,?EUR??,,????'?????<? Taylor said. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?The equipment Toro donated means that we don?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t have to go out and upgrade our equipment, and makes it so much easier for us to maintain the field.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
