"I’ve been coaching a lot of little league 9- and 10-year-olds how to pitch, and it would be really great to see them be able to have more opportunities to practice and have games without having to worry about the weather," said Hibino.Lower Woodland Park is owned by Seattle Parks & Recreation. They have a longstanding field use agreement with Seattle Public Schools. That agreement also mandates that Ballard, Roosevelt, Lincoln and Blanchet have to vacate their fields by 5:45 p.m.
