Since the 1950’s, Shawnee County had been leasing approximately twenty-two (22) acres of land, including the improvements of six (6) existing baseball diamonds, maintenance building, restrooms, concession stand and parking lot to SCABA for the provision of non-profit youth baseball education activities.  This partnership has benefited both SCABA, Shawnee County and Topeka youth baseball for over 5 decades. In 2006, Shawnee County took over operations and maintenance of the baseball complex and continues to partner with the SCABA program, Shawnee Heights High School Thunderbirds, and the National Baseball Congress (NBC) to bring their “World Series” and other tournaments to Topeka. PHASE ONE of the Master Plan is underway and the park complex currently offers a state-of-the-art multi-purpose sports field stadium.
