Lansing’s Ranney Park ball diamond recently got a much-needed $220,000 update that includes an expanded press box, scorer’s booth, larger dugouts, a new speaker system and a new backstop.
Before the recent upgrade, Ranney Park's facility had not been updated since the 1930s.
The new complex also includes an umpire’s changing room complete with lockers and restroom facilities, located on the first floor.
“It’s really a big huge step up from the old facility,”says Murdock Jemerson with the City of Lansing. “We’re really proud of it.”
