Community To Barnes: We Won’t Play Ball

One of the sites the Barnes Foundation is considering moving to in Phiadelphia is currently accupied by community baseball fields. Community groups who use the fields have reacted with dismay to the Barnespotential move. “The ball fields – two baseball diamonds and a small children’s playground along the northern part of the Parkway – are home to countless children’s baseball, softball and soccer games and serve hundreds of children from several city neighborhoods.”
