Princeton Little League Fielded Share of North State Tournaments
Princeton’s Greater Princeton Little League operates three lighted fields near Gardner Road on high ground with good drainage. President Dave Wert notes few local leagues have multiple lighted fields, highlighting ongoing volunteer shortages as a major season challenge. The flood risk is minimal for the fields, though one lower lot flooded during recent rains. The league has kept up facilities to support area and state tournaments, with drainage and field maintenance key priorities.
