Turf fields. The City of Meriden's ballfield reconstruction here called for one synthetic turf Little League baseball field and one synthetic turf softball field, and PlayFPN lists the venue as North End Field - Turf. We haven't found a city page describing the finished fields, so check your field if surface details matter. (2 diamonds: a baseball field and a softball field (Meriden Parks and Recreation).)
