Snowden
Grove Park, built in 1999, has set the standard for which all new
youth baseball complexes are trying to emulate. This 17-field
“baseball only” facility possesses many features only previously
found at professional stadiums.
Because of
its many amenities and locale, Snowden Grove Park has been awarded
and continues to host numerous World Series and National Events
including the 1999 to present year - 10 Year Old USSSA World Series,
1999 to present year - NABF World Classics in the 9, 11 and 13 Year
Old divisions and the 1999 thru 2009 - Dizzy Dean Baseball World
Series in the 8, 9, 13, Soph., Jr. and Sr. divisions.
The
development of Snowden Grove Park resulted in the City of Southaven
receiving the prestigious Economic Development Award presented by
the State of Mississippi for the impact that this park has had on
the local economy of Southaven, MS. Snowden Grove Park was
also awarded the USSSA World Series Host Site of the year in 2000.
The latest
addition to Snowden Grove Park is the Southaven Field of Dreams, a
mini complex for handicapped and mentally challenged children and
adults. No longer are these special people left out, the Field of
Dreams provides the opportunity for them to participate in the great
game of Baseball in a safe environment.
Southaven,
with its close proximity to Memphis, TN, offers small town charm
with “big city” attractions such as Graceland, Casinos, Beale
Street, BBQ, Memphis Grizzlies, Memphis Redbirds and the mighty
Mississippi River. |
