Tower Park
“Tower Park, named after the former location
of the water tower, is for our children of the
community,” Jaeger noted.
It includes swings, slides, and other playground
equipment for younger children, and a basketball
hoop for older children. The Commercial Club
brings in toys for younger children to enjoy during
the summer. Also, shade trees provide a resting
place at the park.
Baseball Park
Softball and baseball are long-standing traditions
in the New Germany community. Baseball Park
was created to host seasonal baseball leagues
and their fans. In recent years, the park has been
updated with a new scoreboard, grass infi eld, and
concession stand. An irrigation project was also
completed. Other recent improvements include the
addition of a new announcer’s booth on top of the
concession stand, repairs to the grandstand, and
work on the fi eld.
On this improved fi eld, the New Germany
Dutchman baseball team hosted a Region 7C
Baseball Tournament in August 2017.
