An Eagle Scout project brings a unique game to Caldwell Park in Pella.
Ben Bartels with Scout Troop 373 directed the construction of a Gaga Ball pit in Pella. Participants can bring their own playground ball for what the scouts describe as a kinder, more gentle version of dodgeball. It is often played with a soft foam ball, and combines dodging, running, and jumping while attempting to hit opponents below the knees with the ball.
