Congratulations to Shana Tafiti who took ownership of the indoor batting cage located a few doors up the street from Mark’s Place.
“This has been a dream come true,” Shana said of the 1433 Roots facility. “I can now give back to my community, and have somewhere for Kauai to go to and have fun.”
Roots 1433 is described as a “dynamic community-centered facility designed for sports, recreation and wellness with three top-tier batting cages equipped for both baseball and softball, complete with a simulator for interactive hitting games.”
Shana said when the permits get approved for the snack shop, she hopes to bring in some of her grandfather Joe Grace (remember the roast pork plates and cheeseburgers from the Hawaii Winter League years?) meals to share with the community.
