View of Ballfield
Field of Dreams was designed specifically for handicap children. The City of Southaven donated the
land and donations were received by the City to develop the park. Various sizes of brass stars were
used to identify large donations and engraved bricks were used for $100 donors. An interior plaza
was developed in the shape of a ball field that was infilled with bricks. The base lines were designed
for smaller brass star donors. The ball field is the first of its kind in the Memphis area. The field
used a surface developed by Beynon Sports Surfaces. The concessions restroom building was
design to accommodate handicap people by have lower concession counters, larger bathrooms and
no curbs throughout the site. Part of the project included the design of a fishing pier for handicap
people with lower rails to accommodate wheel chair personnel. The project was completed in
October 2002.
