The Buck Lake Improvement Club took on an ambitious project of updating and repairing the Buck Lake Community softball field, parking lot/driveway, fencing and electrical system. They were awarded a $5,000 grant in November 2022 from the Nashwauk Area Community Fund to help with their effort. With this grant, and others, they hope to again offer and support youth softball and baseball activities while providing a safe and enjoyable experience to all that use the facility. The softball park is located off Buck Lake Road in Nashwauk.
