Optimist Youth Sports Complex, Lincoln, Nebraska

The Optimist Youth Sports Complex currently developed facility consists of two full sized and two junior sized fully fenced irrigated baseball fields, two batting cages, and a 27’ x 66’ clubhouse with dining area, concessions area, and fully operational restrooms. The fields were dedicated on May 10, 2003, a schedule of 135 games and numerous practices were held. That number jumped to over 800 games and 200 practices held in 2006 The Lincoln Cyclones, Lincoln Little League, and Timberjacks baseball, Lincoln Prairie Dogs, Lincoln Heat, and Lincoln Sharks organizations have been some of our premier supporters and continue to use the facility as their “home” fields. Again, this year the complex was also the home to the “Mike Anderson Baseball Academy”. The complex is also home to an adult softball league, MLB Pitch, Hit, and Run Contest, and Bike Swap Meets. The complex has paved parking for 250+ cars.

The 2006 year was a remarkable year for OYSC, as we had many cosmetic changes to the complex. A $100,000 restroom/storage facility with covered picnic area was added which is attached to our newly sided clubhouse. There was also new landscaping installed around the clubhouse. We added an additional batting cage along with fully functional scoreboards on all four fields.

OYSC is a continuing project of the 501(c)3 Star City Optimist Youth Foundation and has been developed without any of your tax dollars. Your support will help us maintain the fields and to develop the site. When completed, the complex will boast of 6 lighted baseball fields and areas for soccer, football, and many other sporting events.
