“Our association is honored to accept this award on behalf of Ewing Township,” said USA Softball of New Jersey Commissioner Mike Warner. “They have welcomed us with open arms and continue to support our ASA/USA Softball programs each year. In 2017 and in a joint effort with USA Softball of New Jersey, we have plans on expanding the park and adding additional fields for future use. It’s a very exciting time for our softball program in New Jersey and we owe a big part of that to the communities that show their overwhelming support.”  
In 2016, Armstrong Park was the site of the Region 2 Qualifier for the 2016 ASA/USA Softball 14-Under Class A and Class B National Championship.  Armstrong Park also hosted several elite youth fast pitch and adult slow pitch tournaments while also hosting the New Jersey Special Olympics Tournament in September.  In addition to tournament play, Armstrong Park also holds weekly men’s and co-ed slow pitch leagues.
