Jennings Park is gearing up to make a splash in Delaware County as a premier sports complex for year-round play. Located at 5414 Piatt Road in Lewis Center near Evans Farm, this new facility is designed to cater to athletes of all ages with top-tier amenities, offering something for everyone from young beginners to seasoned players. The park aims to bring the community together by providing a space that encourages both recreation and competitive sports, creating a vibrant hub for athletic activity.

Cutting-Edge Features

The park boasts six baseball and softball fields that accommodate players aged 6 to 18. Thanks to synthetic turf and lighting on all ten fields, the facility remains playable throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. Whether it’s a crisp fall evening or a sunny summer day, the fields will be ready for action, providing athletes with a high-quality playing surface that enhances performance and reduces weather-related cancellations.

Jennings Park goes above and beyond with its modern additions that truly set it apart from other sports facilities in the region:

  • Digital Scoreboards: Every game is easy to follow, with real-time scores displayed for players and spectators. These scoreboards ensure that everyone, whether on the field or in the stands, can stay updated on the action, adding an extra layer of excitement to every game.
  • Pixelot Cameras: Can’t make it to the game? No problem. The park offers live streaming through Pixelot cameras, so you can catch every moment virtually from the comfort of your home. This feature allows friends and family who can’t attend in person to stay connected and cheer on their favorite teams from anywhere.
  • Heated Batting Cages: Rain or shine, players can hone their skills in comfort with these all-weather batting cages. The heated batting cages provide a year-round training option, ensuring that athletes can work on their swing even during the cold winter months, helping them stay in top form throughout the year.
  • Multi-Level Pavilion: Complete with concessions and restrooms, the pavilion offers convenience for both athletes and visitors, ensuring a great experience for everyone. The multi-level design provides excellent views of the fields, making it a perfect spot for spectators to relax and enjoy the games while having easy access to food and amenities.

Community Impact

Jennings Park is set to be a hub of athletic activity, drawing more than 500,000 visitors annually. It will serve as the home base for the Triple Crown Royals travel baseball organization and Columbus United club soccer team, supporting the development of local talent and bringing more attention to Delaware County’s growing sports scene. By hosting practices, tournaments, and community events, the park will foster a sense of pride and belonging among residents, encouraging more people to participate in sports and outdoor activities.

This development is not just about sports; it’s a significant enhancement to the county’s infrastructure, providing families and sports enthusiasts a place to gather, play, and compete year-round. The park’s impact extends beyond athletics, as it will also boost local businesses by attracting visitors who will shop, dine, and stay in the area. This influx of visitors will help stimulate the local economy, making Jennings Park an essential asset for Delaware County.
