Claridon Recreational Park
Claridon Township officials are pleased with the improvements that have been and are being done at the Township park on Rt. 608. Land has been cleared and electricity has been installed. The work of adding electricity to the pavilion and concession stand has begun. Dugouts are being built for the existing ball fields, and an additional ball field and a soccer field are being considered for the community. All costs have been paid with monies generated from a contract with Conneaut Telephone--$5,100/yr., recent tree harvesting at the park--$43,000, and collected estate funds.
The Claridon Trustees would like to recognize and thank the Claridon baseball staff for donating their time and effort by providing plans and constructing the dugouts.
