The Riley Field House Project

Rationale & Inspiration

• Originally built in 1982.
• Currently used by BHS Freshman and JV teams, Bedford American Legion, and New England Legends over 50 and 60 Leagues.
• An estimated 4,300 people pass by daily (SNHPC Traffic Counts).
• Valiant but unsuccessful efforts to rebuild in the past; Friends of Bedford Baseball (501c3 pending) founded in fall of 2023 in the hopes of knocking a Riley Field House renovation out of the park this time!

Cost/Fundraising Goals

• The ultimate fundraising goal is $250,000 which would be enough to realize the full potential of the project, including new sound system and scoreboard, as well as build a small endowment for upkeep.
• The rough estimate of the project is $200,000, but largely dependent on several factors, including donations of materials, good, and services.
