In

also
don't
just
defend

clean
our
city's

reduce
air
pollution,

we

disproportionately
impacts
communities

only
dedicated
little
league
field

is,
a
multi-purpose
softball
field
and

as
well
as
the
challenger
ball
field
for
inclusion,
leagues,
which
features
turf
without
infill
for
accessibility,
an
inclusive
play
area
for
children
of
all
abilities
and
accessible
