Riverside Park

Riverside Park is located on Riverside Avenue and consists of 30 acres with (1) one ball field and (4) four soccer fields.

Riverside Park recently received a facelift. The soccer fields were a nature works project for the City of Defiance. They were constructed by Rosengarten Construction, Ottawa, Ohio. This project started in September 1999 and was completed in May 2000. The final cost of the project was $56,000. A 6" storm tile was installed to help with the drainage and the fields were sloped with the necessary grade for proper drainage and yet playable. The fields should be ready to go this fall.

The general contractor for the shelter house and restroom facility was Baker-Shindler from Defiance. Olson's Electrical took care of the electrical end of the construction and Schumm Plumbing and Heating from Van Wert was responsible for the plumbing. This project got underway in October and this facility was ready in July 2000. The total cost of the project was $168,000.
