BUILDING A LEGACY
A Home Field for Bigfork Babe Ruth & High School Baseball
WHY
Bigfork has no community owned ball fields
Neither Flathead County nor the school district have land available for our teams. That’s why we’re taking action to build our own! Bigfork’s baseball community currently lacks proper and safe facilities for its older players at the Babe Ruth and High School level. As a result, teams are forced to practice indoors, on non-regulation fields or travel to Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls for practices and games. While we had temporary solutions for the 2024 season, it did not provide the ideal environment for developing the skills and techniques required for high-level baseball play.
High School
The Bigfork High School team practices indoors in the gym and travels to Kalispell to host home games. No local practice field or home plate.
Babe Ruth
The Babe Ruth team is forced to practice on pee-wee fields and travel to Columbia Falls and Whitefish for every game.
Future
We are committed to supporting athletes from T-Ball through high school, ensuring they have the facilities they need to be safe and thrive.
WHO
leading the charge
The Bigfork Youth Baseball Association is leading the charge to build a local ball field that will not only provide a dedicated home for our current Babe Ruth and High School teams but also serve future generations of players in our growing youth program.
Bigfork Youth Baseball Association has secured a land use agreement for five acres of land, but we need to your help to bring the field to life.
We are raising funds to transform this land into a proper baseball field for over 200 Bigfork youth, creating a space that will serve as the home for our teams.
WHERE
Focused on bigfork
Field Build Project by BYBA is located on five acres land,
north of Bigfork, on Coverdell Road
Building this field reduces the travel burdens on the high school program, families, and fans. It ensures safe, age-appropriate facilities, and provides Babe Ruth and Bigfork High School Baseball with a space to host home games, tournaments, and events that benefit the entire community and youth program.
WHAT
The Project Plan
To complete this project, we need to raise funds. Every dollar will go toward building a baseball field for our older players in the Babe Ruth and High School teams.
Here’s what we need to do:
Level the land and install water for irrigation
Install irrigation and electrical systems
Build fencing, dugouts, a backstop, bullpens, a scoreboard, foul poles, and bleachers
Plant infield and outfield grass
Create a parking lot
Construct a concession stand and equipment storage building
