The Hyannis Athletic Association (Hyannis Mets), in conjunction
with Pope John Paul II High School, is coordinating a major renovation
of Mckeon Park in Downtown Hyannis.
The renovations include but are not limited to the return of the
night use of the park and the renovations of the press box/concession
stands.
The return of lighting of the park is the first priority.
It is a $400,000 project. It includes $230,000 for the purchase
of the lights and $170,000 for the installation. As of today
we have raised the $230,000 and have purchased the lights.
We have also raised $62,000 for a total of $292,000 out of
the $400,000 project. In addition, we have raised significant
money towards the press box and scoreboard components of the
project.
The Hyannis Athletic Association has a long history of partnerships
with local business and governments in leveraging money with donated
materials and in-kind donations of labor to maximize impact. 100%
of money raised goes into the project. The Hyannis Athletic Association
does not charge any overhead to manage the project.
Mckeon Park is used by many organizations and individuals including
the Hyannis Mets, Pope John Paul II High School, Saint Francis Xavier
Preparatory School, Sturgis Charter High School, Barnstable American
Legion Post 206, and many other groups.
The Hyannis Athletic Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization under applicable state and federal laws. All
donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
