Shaffer Park, the proud home of Hillsboro, OH's Youth Baseball and Softball.
Shaffer Park Vision
Financial Reinvestment Plan
Funds generated from registration fees, team fees, donations, sponsorships, tournament fees, and concession stand sales are earmarked for substantial improvements within the park. These improvements include:
Enhanced Community Engagement
Board Membership for Head Coaches: Beginning in 2024, head coaches from each league will become members of the board. Their duties will include maintaining the field and dugouts both during and after practices and games.
Expanding Events and Tournaments
Hillsboro Tournament of Champs: Reviving this successful end-of-season tournament aims at making it a highlight event, growing in size and excitement each year.
Community and Business Involvement
Concession Stand Management: Encouraging local businesses, teams, and parents to manage the concession stand on game nights, this initiative not only involves the community directly in park operations but also offers promotional opportunities for local businesses.
Diversifying Park Usage
Hosting Varied Events: Shaffer Park aims to become a hub of community activity, planning events such as kickball, wiffle ball, dodgeball tournaments, and movie nights. This diversification will maximize the park's utility and appeal to a broader audience.
Fall Baseball and Softball
Extending the use of the park into the fall season to accommodate baseball and softball leagues, responding to community interest and promoting year-round engagement.
