Park History
The field was built in memory of Jeff Mitchell.  Jeff and his wife, Crystal, were residents of El Dorado Hills.  He was a Deputy for Sacramento County Sheriff Department.  He was an avid baseball fan, had a passion for kids baseball, and spent time teaching his son, Jake, the game.  He was also a coach for El Dorado Hills Little League South.  The movement for the memorial diamond came following his death while on duty in 2006.
