Help Build New Softball Field for Lady Tigers

Together with the Heights athletic department and school district, the Heights Softball Booster Club is raising money for a new softball field at the corner of Washington and Goodnor at Cleveland Heights High School.

The softball team has never had its own field. The team has played their home games at Forest Hill Park and was bussed there – an additional expense to the Heights High Athletics program. As a result, very few fans came to their games and the team has never enjoyed the “home field advantage.” The Heights High baseball team has a wonderful field off of Cedar Road on the Heights High campus. Fastpitch softball cannot be played on a traditional baseball field since the distances between bases and the configuration of the pitching circle/mound are different.

The project is to include upgrades to the infield dirt and outfield grass, addition of canvas top dugouts and a portable home run fence (current field has neither), new backstop fencing, new grandstand with concrete path, and a new scoreboard. A brochure with more images of the project is available here.

The cost of the project is approximately $30,000. The softball boosters need to raise at least half of these funds. Please consider supporting this worthy project.
