Belton hits homerun with fifth field at Heritage Park

BELTON – The City of Belton will build a fifth, $135,000 tee ball field at Heritage Park, located at the intersection of 13th St. and Waco Rd.

Belton Youth Baseball Association donated $75,000 for the field. The City of Belton matched BYBA’s donation with another $75,000 in capital improvement funds. Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers pitched in another $5,000, and Belton residents gave money.

City employees are donating their time to build the field, which will include a fence, lighting, scoreboard and bleachers. The hiking trail running through the area under construction will be relocated between the fourth and fifth fields.
