Legislator Mejias Joins County Executive at Groundbreaking for Seaford Baseball Fields

Nassau County Legislator Dave Mejias (D-Farmingdale) joined County Executive Tom Suozzi at a groundbreaking for two new baseball fields at Washington Avenue Park in Seaford. The construction of the two Little League fields is part of an approximately $1 million overhaul of the 4-acre community park that includes the construction of two new playgrounds, new pathways and benches, a fitness trail, and additional parking.

“What was once a safety hazard to be avoided will now be a community hub where families will come together to make memories to last a lifetime,” said Legislator Mejias.

Located at Jerusalem and Washington Avenues, Washington Avenue Park has been a county property since World War II, when it was acquired for drainage purposes.
