High School fields are behind the middle school and right of the football stadium off Goshen Road.. Goshen built a new HS across the street.
HS fields are very new actually. When we, the taxpayers, paid for the artificial turf on the football fields, we also paid for a baseball and softball diamond and new tennis courts and parking lots.
I do know the HS fields were dry that day, Musty. I thought maybe the game got moved there that day and went there myself.
Goshen's drainage is so new. You can see the "new" huge pipes sticking out of the ground between fields in the quads. There is more pipe to be laid in the little parking lot.
They are cutting trees to make the little parking lot into an L-shaped bigger parking lot. ( I think the volunteers burn wood in the winter...LOL).
I know with my discussion on Sunday night with the Goshen reps... that higher fences around dugout area and maybe finding local businesses who might buy a dugout package for covered dugouts was spoken about that evening.
I do know that after the last payment on those acres behind them is paid in November, 2010... then I know the avenue they are trying to use to build 10 more diamonds there at Goshen in the near future with limited amount of cash. They are a very smart board at Heisler Park and they will get it done in due time.
They run on bingo, concessions and just recently ... ballfield rentals to orgs to run a tournament.
It's new to them this fastpitch and what teams are looking for in tournament locations ... as they was a local rec league park with volunteers. And still are a rec league park..now with interest from the fastpitch community as well. Lasers and Doomers put them on the map of a place to come play an event. The safety bases.. the teams bought last year when they played in a tournament to raise money for them. There is a couple more fields to buy for yet.
I think what I like most about the park... is the people there that volunteer there as they want to play ball as bad as I do for the kids, whether rec baseball or travel ball softball. They know as a parent of a player how much time and money is spent to go to tournaments and they want to make the best effort possible to play the games and for the parents to feel their money was well spent to come to Goshen in tournament season.
I think they do an exceptional job at it personally. They know THEIR fields ... ask any Doomer .
