"Almost 15 acres over there, he's like, 'We're not using this.' I think it would be great for the community, see what you can do," said Steven Dobbs, the vice president of Plumas Lake Little League.
"More houses are being built, more kids are coming, more schools are coming and we're the only little league in the area that doesn't have its own ball field," Dobbs said.
"We're not allowed to mow the grass, so sometimes it'll be super long," Dobbs said. "Not allowed to have fences up year-round. We have to take them up, put them down for each game. Coaches don't want to do that. Sometimes the water gets shut off in the fall, we don't even have water for the fields."
"It comes to other programs where we have issues, flag football or travel ball, stuff like that. We don't have priority on the fields," Dobbs said.
"They'll give us the land for the cheap amount, and we'll build a dog park for the community as well. So there will be two ball fields, a parking lot, and a dog park," Dobbs said.
Now, the league just needs to come up with the $1 million in estimated costs to get it built. They've secured roughly $100,000 through sponsors and donations, but are hoping the community steps up to help.
"They'll have the opportunity to play All Stars here on their home park," Troxell said. "They'll have lights for night games. The kids are the whole reason we do all of this. That's what Little League Baseball is all about."
The league is currently working on designs with an architect and hopes to break ground within the next year.
