The banner commemorating the generous donation by local RI community leader, Rob Levine & Associates, is now hanging proudly on the batting cages at Wilson Park.  I received this photo from sponsorship coordinator, Chris Beattie, who was instrumental in working with the team at Rob Levine & Associates to get this donation and make this batting cage a reality.  Sign was created by valued Wickford Little League sponsor Sign-A-Rama.  Thank you to everyone involved.

For the 2016 Wickford Little League season, teams from the Majors and AAA divisions will be playing teams from the North Kingstown Little League.  North Kingstown Little League is based at Signal Rock Field, which is on Signal Rock Rd.  If you take Post Rd North, take a right onto Newcomb Rd, which is just past the Quonset Point entrances, Dave's Marketplace, and Kohls.  The Bike Path runs parallel to Newcomb Road to your right and the soon to be opened North Kingstown Recreation fields will also be on your right.  When you get to the end of Newcomb Rd, make a right onto Fletcher Rd.  Follow Fletcher Rd "a few ticks", then make a left onto Signal Rock Rd.  Follow that up the hill to the end to find Signal Rock Field.

Signal Rock has two baseball fields, a concession stand, playground, and plenty of parking.  There are bleachers which sit between the two fields and there is plenty of seating available on the grass and stands.  

To find out when your team is playing against North Kingstown Little League, visit the schedule section of our website.  And stay tuned to find out how Wickford Little League and the North Kingstown Little League will be working together in the very near future.  Good luck to all the players, coaches, and managers that make all of North Kingstown's Little Leagues so much fun to be a part of.

We are asking for kids that have graduated from the majors that would be interested in umpiring. I could use a few more kids that are available during the week. We will hold a quick training session on Friday at Wilson Park from 4:30-5:30 but parents need to send Wickford Little League a message first so I know they are interested and committed. Please message us through our Facebook page, Wickford Little League or via email at wickfordlittleleague@cox.net. Thank you.

Wickford Little League, a tradition in North Kingstown for over 50 years, would like to acknowledge the financial support of local sponsor Rob Levine & Associates. Wickford Little League would also like to recognize the incredible work done by South County landscaping company Hutchins Landscaping for the reconditioning of the batting cages at Wilson Park, North Kingstown.

The batting cages centrally located between the AAA and Majors baseball fields at Wilson Park, North Kingstown, have been reconditioned and are officially open for use. Thanks to the generous donation by Rhode Island business and community leader, Rob Levine & Associates, Wickford Little League was able to move forward with the renovations. South County landscaping company, Hutchins Landscaping, did the renovations on the batting cages. This important upgrade to our facility comes on the heels of the announcement that Wickford Little League and our home field, Wilson Park, will be the host of the 2016 Rhode Island District 11 year Old Championships, to be held this July.

Rob Levine & Associates is a trusted and generous community partner in Rhode Island. “Giving back to the community gives me a sense of accomplishment. To be able to help one person at a time is great. But to be able to have a larger impact by creating change or creating new programs and helping an entire community is amazing.” Some of the other community based programs Rob Levine & Associates supports include adopting a nursery/kindergarten school in Central Falls (The Captain Hunt Early Learning Center), sponsoring the Ocean State Waves Summer Camp (of which his favorite part is the 10-12 scholarships he provides to inner city kids), inviting kids and families from the Little League programs he sponsors up to McCoy Stadium for batting practices and VIP tours as a part of his sponsorship with the Pawsox, sponsoring the newly reopened Newport Skating Center and many many more. Rob Levine and Rob Levine & Associates remain dedicated to promoting getting kids outside and keeping them active, healthy and safe. 

Mark Hutchins Landscaping, located in Wakefield, has been supplying Rhode Island with quality landscaping services for over 20 years. Hutchins Landscaping employs a staff of over 30 and their daily work includes fertilization, lawn care, and much more to local schools, ball fields, condominiums, and businesses in Rhode Island. “Basically, we wanted to solve the drainage issue,” stated Hutchins, “and I’m confident we accomplished that at Wilson Park.” Hutchins landscaping did a full scale grading, grubbed the area, then removed weeds and debris, and then regraded the area with blue stone dust. “On some parts of the batting cage area, we actually used the same mix as they have at Fenway Park,” noted Hutchins.
