Softball Field Expansion
We’re expanding Cottonwood Park to create four new adult softball fields and four new fastpitch softball fields. A group of community volunteers is working on a capital campaign to increase the number of softball fields, and in turn, maintain and improve the quality of life in Bismarck.
Bismarck Women’s Slowpitch Softball Association, the Bismarck Men’s Slowpitch Softball Association and the Bismarck Youth Fastpitch Softball Association wholeheartedly support this project. All three groups have made financial commitments to this campaign. The Campaign Committee’s goal is to raise $650,000 so that this project becomes a community reality. Players and their families, community advocates of youth and adult sports and fans of softball are encouraged to join us in building eight new softball diamonds.
