Altona Field of Dreams Committee

Altona now has one of the most attractive baseball parks in the province. This is Access Field, which hosted seventy-four baseball games in 2024 alone. It's the home of the Altona Bison Senior team, the Altona Junior Bison team, the Altona U18 AA team, the W.C. Miller Aces High School team, and for some games, the South Central U18 AAA team. Since 2008, the Altona Baseball Builders, known locally as the Field of Dreams Committee, carried out all of the fundraising and much of the construction work for this beautiful ballpark. Over the course of a decade and half, they invested more than a million dollars in the field. They levelled the property, and especially for the infield, they brought in drain tile, topsoil, pea gravel, and red clay. They constructed concrete dugouts, a backstop, fences, grandstands, foul poles, an umpires' dressing room, and a media booth. They arranged for electricity to the park which meant lights could be installed. They ran a water line to the facility which made washrooms possible and field maintenance much more efficient. Hats off to this dedicated group of volunteers.
