Preparations were made at Chillicothe’s Daryl Danner Park where the Missouri Boys state fastpitch softball tournament was held on October 3 and 4, 2008. Members of the city’s grounds crew  enlarged the playing field from 200 feet (the distance used for girls’ standards) to 250 feet which meets the boys’ requirement. The full-size field without use of the portable fences is 275 feet.

bench construction 120702... photo courtesy of C-T (20317 bytes)Park employees work on the tennis court area in Simpson Park, putting together forms in preparation for some concrete work. The concrete slabs now hold the sixth bench located around Simpson and Danner Parks. Funds for the seven park benches were donated by area residents. Those interested in donating funds for a bench may suggest the area the bench should be located and request a plaque to be mounted on the bench, if the bench is in memory of a loved one. Contact Josh Norris in the Parks Office by phone at 660-646-4424 or by email.
