Jeffers Park Development
Mission
The mission of the Jeffers Park Development Project
is to plan and construct Jeffers Park to feature a five field baseball and
softball complex and include such other public park amenities as a playground,
pavilion, and trails. The land is owned
by the City, the use approved by the City Council, and the site rough graded
for this use in addition to its present brush site and storm water facility
functions. The project is a
collaboration of two youth sports leagues, the Eau Claire National Little
League and Eau Claire Fastpitch, plus the City of Eau Claire. The ball field complex would be the first
joint boy and girl ball fields in the City and expand limited access to
fields. The fields would be the first
City softball fields for girls outside of Carson Park, now used primarily by
UWEC and the high schools, and allow both the boys and girls improved league
and tournament opportunities. Jeffers
Park will also provide the neighborhood and northwest side of Eau Claire much
needed access to a community park offering a variety of active and passive
outdoor recreational activities.
Purpose
Statement
The
Project is a collaboration between two youth sports leagues, Eau Claire National
Little League and Eau Claire Fastpitch, and the City of Eau Claire, which all desire
to further youth development, physical fitness, community access to well
designed and maintained outdoor recreational areas, and opportunity to “Play
Ball!” through the construction and opening to the public of Jeffers Park.
