Shape the Future of Cricket in Frederick!
Take action today and bring the Washington Freedom to its permanent home.
Make Your Voice Heard
Frederick has a historic opportunity to welcome the Washington Freedom to a brand-new, privately funded community home. By transforming an underutilized plot along the Monocacy River into a year-round recreational area and professional cricket park, this project delivers much-needed space for youth athletics, outdoor activities, community events, and of course – world-class cricket. To bring this exciting vision to life, our local leaders need to hear the passion of the community today.
