The old operating model wasn’t generating enough revenue to properly maintain and improve the park, so the City selected The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC) to protect field quality, grow revenue responsibly, and reduce long‑term financial pressure on the City.

No—Keizer still owns the park and sets expectations, while SFC is the management partner handling daily operations so the facility is better maintained and more sustainable for the community.

The City and SFC intend to keep youth access front and center; any fee adjustments will be tied to maintaining safe, quality fields and investing revenue back into the facility rather than relying only on local families or taxpayers.

Local youth leagues keep priority on the schedule, and tournaments are added around those commitments to bring in revenue and visitors without displacing Keizer teams from their home fields.

SFC has begun investing in field surfaces, facility repairs, and safety and operations upgrades, with regular updates planned so residents can see what is being improved.

Because the park serves both daily league play and regional tournaments, it needs professional standards for maintenance, scheduling, finances, and events that SFC specializes in providing while the City retains oversight.

The new model is designed to generate more revenue through tournaments, sponsorships, and efficient operations, easing strain on the City budget and supporting local businesses with visiting teams and families.

Yes—the community is encouraged to be a part of creating the next generation of the park through various community engagement events and surveys. This will continue to shape the park through regular briefings, community workdays, and formal feedback channels that inform decisions and improvements.

Throughout 2026, the focus is on stabilizing operations and making improvements, culminating in a refreshed brand on Opening Day 2027 that marks a new chapter while honoring the park’s community roots.

Keizer Little League Park will remain the home for local youth baseball and softball, where community, volunteers, and families come together—SFC’s role is to protect and enhance that experience, not replace it!
