Coppo Baseball Field
Construction is underway at the north end of Waveny Park, next to Lapham Community Center, to rebuild Coppo Baseball Field. The new facility, featuring additional seating, will serve as the home field for the New Canaan Rams Varsity Baseball Team, which previously played at Mead Park. The Junior Varsity team will move from Coppo Field to Mead Park.
The upgraded facility, designed to accommodate other New Canaan youth baseball teams and programs, is scheduled to open for play in April. This project is a collaboration between the Town, the private nonprofit New Canaan Athletic Foundation, and New Canaan Baseball.
The field is named in honor of Joe Coppo, a New Canaan resident and dedicated youth baseball coach who tragically lost his life in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
