Butternut Area Park

06/01/2026

The Butternut Area Park Association is proud to announce a partnership with the Butternut Pioneer Days Committee and the Butternut Bulldogs baseball team. Together, we are launching a project to build a fully handicap-accessible bathroom and paved walkways near the ballfield.

With the Bulldogs returning to Upper 13 league play this year, our crowds are growing. We want to ensure that our elderly residents, those with disabilities, and families with strollers can enjoy Pioneer Days and baseball games without barriers.

Our Goal: $150,000

We are actively working on grants and donations and have already received some commitments, but we need your help to get there. We are inviting local businesses, community members, and alumni to join our "Lineup of Supporters" via our donor board:

Single - $100
Double - $500
Triple - $1,000
Home Run - $5,000
Grand Slam - $10,000 or more

-You can mail donations to:
