Ryder Park Field Complex Project Apart of Go Big Give

(Grand Island, NE) - On the Go Big Give roster for 2024 with the Heartland United Way is the Grand Island Community Baseball Committee. The Committee is raising funds to renovate the current Ryder Park baseball field. The renovation will enable Grand Island to host baseball and softball events that have not been a possibility in the past due to limitations with the field and facilities currently at the park. The improvements will allow Grand Island to bring teams from Omaha, Lincoln, and the surrounding region to the community for tournaments that drive economic opportunities for our local businesses. The plan is to add 2 high school softball fields with a turf surface to the current baseball complex, also increasing the opportunities to host high school events.

Below listen to a recent interview with Will Bamesberger with more details on the efforts at hand to overall and renovate the baseball field at Ryder Park.
