Homes near Kelowna, B.C. park pelted with baseballs, causing heavy damage
games happening right behind their homes. but this means baseballs fly into their backyards, pools and patios.
Stewart says that since his family moved in, the kids who play in the field behind their house started to get older, meaning more balls are hit towards his house. He says this year has been the worst yet as he’s been able to fill a five-gallon bucket with baseballs. Stewart tried going through the City of Kelowna to improve the fencing for his backyard. Not long after he contacted them, they put up nearby signs warning homeowners they’re not responsible for the damage to persons or property caused by balls that leave the field of play.Since then, Stewart says he hasn’t had much help from the city.
Stewart and nearby neighbours want the netting that’s been built on the adjacent field to expand behind their home. But were told by the city that putting up higher fencing or netting was too costly.
