All softball games are cancelled at least for this week at Kentwood’s Kelloggwoods Park according to Charlie Ziesemer, Kentwood’s Parks and Recreation director. The park was seriously damaged during the tornado Sunday night and many large trees that once shaded the children’s playground are destroyed.

Ziesemer says that they have a lot of clean up to do in the park, but clearing up the neighborhoods takes priority. He said he hopes to have the park open for ball games by some time next week.
