Admission to Cherry Park
is usually free with the exception of tournaments and events. The second
sports venue to be inducted into the National Softball Association’s
(NSA) Hall of Fame, Cherry Park is Rock Hill’s premier softball/baseball
facility nestled in a beautiful 68 acre park with scenic walking trails,
a large playground, restrooms, an outdoor shelter with picnic table
seating for 50, and numerous other park amenities.
Cherry Park can be enjoyed year-round and provides athletic programs for both youth and adults. The park is also proud to host some of the largest regional, state, and national tournaments in the country.
At the entrance to the softball/baseball complex stands a bronze statue
of Mighty Casey, well-known to softball and baseball enthusiasts as
the subject of Ernest Lawrence Thayer’s poem “Casey at the
Bat.” This 14-foot tall public art work was crafted by Mark Lundeen
in 1991. |
