One community’s loss is turning into a gain for a nearby neighbour.
Minto is losing a ballpark with the construction of a new OPP detachment in Teviotdale.
Mapleton’s public works director Larry Lynch said recently the lights from that ball diamond will be moved to the Moorefield ball park, which is receiving a number of improvements this year.
Lynch added the Alma Optimists are also working on lights for the ball diamond in that community.
The diamond’s lights were all but destroyed in high winds last year and the club is working to get them replaced. Meanwhile, some of the ball teams there are playing in other communities such as Elora.
