Weymouth Park Defies Age To Be State Finest Ball Facility
Citizens built Weymouth Park in Buxton joining 200 volunteers from Buxton Hollis and Scarborough. The enclosed Little League and softball field opened last month features a four foot fence, tiered grandstands and a bronze plaque honoring donors. The project used land donated in 1926 and involved extensive volunteer labor and local contracting. The park’s dedication followed Buxton’s bicentennial anniversary.
