Common Council names Crystal Lake Park field for Anthony 'Tony' Petruzzello
Summary
The Common Council unanimously approved a resolution renaming Crystal Lake Park Softball Field the Anthony 'Tony' Petruzzello Softball Field and discussed a dedication ceremony for August 10.
The Common Council on April 7 approved Resolution No. 18-20-25 to rename the Crystal Lake Park Softball Field the Anthony "Tony" Petruzzello Softball Field. Councilman (mover) introduced the resolution, recounted his personal connection to Tony and said it was an honor to recognize a local youth who “brings joy” to the community.
The mover noted he had been Tony's preschool and elementary principal and said "Tony's not here this evening because their family is trying to keep this a surprise," describing an August 10 dedication and associated kickball/softball events. The council discussed logistics for the dedication and voted unanimously to approve the renaming.
Why it matters: The naming recognizes a local resident and will be marked by a public dedication tied to youth sports; the council emphasized keeping the dedication a surprise for the honoree while coordinating public access for the event.
Provenance: Motion, discussion and vote recorded in the council meeting timeline for the naming ordinance and resolution (resolution read and voted on during the old business / item 7C portion of the meeting).
