Grandstand Idea At Concord Junctions Park Gains Interest
A proposed new grandstand at Concord Junctions baseball park draws support from Maynard fans. The chestnut structure would seat about 500 and cost roughly 400 to 500 dollars. The plan follows the old stand, which has served for generations but now shows wear and risk of failure under heavy use. A horseshoe design with wings and improvements at John A Crowe park are also discussed to attract crowds and enhance the park’s appearance.
