History of Hazel Dell Little League
Hazel Dell Little League originally started in the early 1950's on 78th Street near Interstate 5.
In the early 1960’s, the field was moved to 94th Street and 21st Ave. American and National League games were played on the fields on the north side of 94th Street, with Pac Coast and T-Ball being played on the site of Lake Shore Elementary School. The Senior League was played in the far corner of Lake Shore School next to Lake Shore Athletic Club. The League was notified in the late 70's that the School District was going to build a new school on the site and the League would lose the baseball property.
Hazel Dell Little League approached H B Fuller about the availablity of their poperty for the use of a sport's park. H B Fuller was open to the idea of making a park for children as long as the park was maintained by the Little League, Soccer Program, and the Parks Department.
The land was leased in 1990 and in 1991, HDLL built the Junior and Senior Field. It took eight years to obtain the Mariner's Grant which allowed HDLL to build the American and National Fields. These fields were completed in 1998. HDLL built the Kiggins Clubhouse in 2004-2005. Through generous donations of time by League parents and members of the community, HDLL was fortunate to have the clubhouse built with the only expense being for the materials used in the project.
