AUBURN — City officials have announced the completion of the comprehensive reconstruction of the Pettengill softball field as an outdoor athletic and recreation facility. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at the field at 5:30 p.m. Monday, June 29.

The reconstructed facility features a fully-renovated softball field pattern, along with improved drainage, irrigation system, right field retaining wall with fence, wall padding, new backstop, foul poles and upgraded sport fencing.
