It had been nearly 30 years since any major improvements had been done to Dover’s ball fields known as Henry Fields leaving the fields barely functional or safe.

Seeing the need for more field space in SE MN, the City Council made the decision to update the fields to make them more user friendly.

These updates included:
•Moving a ball field 32ft to create separation between the 2 fields
•Adding more fencing including new taller and safer back stops
•Building 4 dug outs to comply with safety guidelines for youth baseball and softball
•Purchasing maintenance equipment

We would like to thank the following members of the community who with their donation of time and skills made this possible:

Mike Bedtke
Gunnar Schwartz
Derek Anderson
Nick Brown
Jeff Peck
Tony Bale
Tim Rainey
Rick Jones
Dave Iseminger

Also a special thank you to these area sponsors for their financial donations toward field reconstruction and improvements:

Dover Volunteer Fire Department
Hiawatha Valley Sno Seekers
Storm Softball Organization
Dover-Eyota Youth Baseball
Road Trip Bar and Grill

The field schedule is already booked and we are very excited to welcome these teams to our town to “Play Ball!” ⚾️🥎
