Brown Stadium; two quadra-plex softball diamonds, four sand volleyball courts; a playground and 12 shuffleboard courts. Bailey Park is also home to the Northwood League’s Battle Creek Bombers, a summer baseball league comprised of teams of the top college players from across the nation and North America Over the years, Bailey Park has evolved into a facility with a reputation for hosting some of the finest baseball and softball tournaments in the country. While Bailey Park still offers excellent opportunities to relax and enjoy a leisurely game of shuffleboard, an exciting sand volleyball match or a picnic lunch under a mature shade tree; it is the steady stream of softball and baseball players and spectators that pump life into the park.

Belknap Park

Ron Mottl Field

Since its opening in 1991, Ron Mottl Field has been the home stadium for the Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) baseball team. Located in the northeast corner of the College’s Western Campus in Parma, the field has seen many wins and memories over the years. A group of College and community leaders gathered at the field Sept. 28 to commemorate its 30th anniversary and celebrate its importance — not only to Triceratops baseball, but to Parma, surrounding communities and local baseball culture. Speakers at the event included Ron Mottl, a former U.S. Representative and the field’s namesake; Ron’s son Mickey Mottl, Parma Mayor Timothy DeGeeter, Parma City Council President Sean Brennan, Cleveland Indians vice president of public affairs Bob DiBiasio and Tri-C Western Campus President Lisa Williams. “Baseball teams at all levels and from across the County use Ron Mottl Field because of its outstanding condition,” Williams said during yesterday’s commemoration and rededication event. “Ron Mottl’s efforts and Tri-C’s commitment have made [the field] a valuable community resource.” Ron Mottl Field is widely considered one of the finest community college baseball facilities in the Midwest. The field features an artificial turn infield and natural grass outfield, an eight-tower lighting system for night games, batting tunnels and enclosed press box. The cities of Parma, Parma Heights and Middleburg Heights issued proclamations in honor of the field’s 30th anniversary. The event concluded with the presentation of a Bob Feller-signed baseball by DiBiasio to Ron Mottl. Feller, an Indians pitching legend, passed away in 2010.
