Sherman Conn 2025 Baseball Season has Begun

Spring has arrived in Sherman, Connecticut, and with it comes the return of baseball at Veterans Field. On Sunday, March 30, 2025, under overcast skies and perfect temperatures, the season began with the crack of the bat and cheers from the crowd. In a world filled with uncertainty, the start of another baseball season is a reassuring reminder of tradition, community, and the simple joys of the game. Players, families, and fans gathered to celebrate the sport that has been an American staple for generations.

Sherman Pickleball is Alive!

What started as a grassroots movement to tape down lines on a Colonial Park tennis court has grown into a full-fledged town project. With pickleball rapidly gaining popularity in Sherman and across the country, local players pushed for a permanent space to play—and the town responded. Completed in late 2024 at Volunteer Park, Sherman’s new pickleball courts were funded by a $240,000 STEAP grant and officially announced by First Selectman Don Lowe in November. The site selection and construction, however, weren’t without challenges. Neighbors had raised concerns about noise, and environmental impacts on wetlands and local wildlife were acknowledged but ultimately accepted by town officials and residents alike. Despite the tradeoffs, the project was delivered on time and on budget, offering a new recreational amenity that’s already seeing strong use.
