 Plymouth’s first cricket pitch set to open during The Meadows Playfield Ribbon Cutting June 17
The City of Plymouth will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 17 to celebrate the opening of The Meadows Playfield, 5805 Peony Lane N.
The park will feature Plymouth’s first-ever cricket pitch – a high-demand amenity built in response to feedback from residents.
The public is invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, which will include comments from city leaders, as well as opportunities for residents to try out the new cricket pitch – with local cricketers demonstrating the sport. Light refreshments will also be available, while supplies last.
Other request-driven amenities include three lighted pickleball courts, two lighted tennis courts, a dedicated sledding hill and a strider bike course. The park includes a hockey rink with basketball hoops and soccer fields overlapping the cricket pitch for multi-purpose use, as well as a four-season restroom building, plaza, picnic shelters, shade structure and parking.
Plymouth’s 69th park, The Meadows Playfield totals 18 acres, and includes trails that connect to other nearby parks.
As part of the city’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the City of Plymouth also installed a new suspended pavement system at the Meadows Playfield near the warming house/restroom building. The underground infrastructure supports healthy tree growth while more effectively managing stormwater runoff.
Additionally, the park features tall native prairie plantings, as well as wetland restoration and pollinator seed restoration efforts.
