For his project, he wants to build a batting cage in Butts Park. Dieter is proposing a batting cage that would be 55 feet long and 14 feet wide to be used by Medina youth baseball and softball teams. The wood structure would be up year-round but the nets for cage would likely just be up in spring until late summer.
