Page Welcome to Owatonna Parks and
Recreation Spring/Summer 2011
This spring/summer brochure will be of help to you as our department advertises its seasonal
programs, activities, and amenities with this feature. Included in this brochure is information
about the River Springs Water Park, information covering parks and their amenities, youth and
adult recreation programs, therapeutic recreation, information about Brooktree Golf Course,
SeniorPlace activities, and services and information about Tennis and Fitness Center. Also you
will find administrative information including policies and procedures.
Because of the continuing budget crisis that the state and the City Owatonna are in, the
department is in a very fluid situation at this time. Please be aware that this information
may change on short notice. The department will do it’s best to communicate changes to the
community as they occur. For information please go on line to our newly remodeled and
improved website www.ci.owatonnna.mn.us as we have expanded the information that is listed. Also the Owatonna Peoples Press, KRFO and KOWZ radio provide a source of information for
our department.
Remember that the City of Owatonna has eliminated the non-resident fees, this comes about
because of an agreement with Steele County. All citizens within the county will pay the same
fee for recreation programs. Participants from outside the county will still pay the outside
player fee.
Make time to take advantage of your Parks and Recreation trails, facilities, and programs
during this wonderful time of year! We welcome your comments and suggestions about our
facilities and programs. Let us know how we are doing.

BULLPEN CLUB & PARK AND
RECREATION BASEBALL
PROGRAMS
If you are registering for Little League or
Minor League Baseball for the summer,
please register at Willow Creek School on
February 26. This is important as baseball
coaches will be present on that day to help
size your child for the correct baseball
uniform.
In efforts to provide the most efficient and
cost-effective baseball program for Owatonna’s
Youth, Bullpen Club and Park and Recreation
merged their summer youth baseball programs
in 2005. T-Ball and Squirt baseball programs
continue to be “Park and Recreation” programs.
Beginning with 2nd grade, however, the
merger provides distinct levels for our Youth
Baseball Community. Little League (Grade
2-5), U-11 Tournament team(s), Minor League
(Ages 12-15), and Major League (Ages 1618) Park and Recreation continues to handle
the administration portion of the program:
purchasing equipment, registration, scheduling,
field maintenance and communication. Bullpen
Club provides the programming: pre-season,
evaluations, team selection, league supervision,
coaching recruitment, and instruction, skills
clinics and overall baseball quality assurance.
This merger reduces individual participation
fees while maximizing human and financial
resources. Checks for all Bullpen Club
Programs, Level 1 through Minor League
should be made payable to Owatonna Bullpen
Club. We will do our best so that make-up
soccer games at the end of the soccer season
does not conflict with our baseball.

2011 Traveling Baseball Information
Registration for the 2011 season opens on
February 26th at Willow Creek school and runs
through March 21st. Late registrations are not
guaranteed placement and will be charged a late
fee if accepted.
U11 Tournament Team(s)
In addition to playing in the Little League, 5th
grade players that are age qualified (must not
reach age 12 before May 1st, 2011) may try out
for the U11 travel team(s). Selected players will
be divided up into teams that will compete
in 1 local and 2 away U11 tournaments. The
number of U11 teams will be determined
based on the number of selected players. The
goal of the U11 Tournament Team(s) is to
introduce a travel and tournament baseball
experience for 5th grade players in addition to
the “in-house” Little League.
U11 registration fee* = $125.00 per player,
payable to Owatonna Bullpen Club
*THIS FEE IS IN ADDITION to the Little
League fee for 5th grade baseball and includes
Summer baseball Academy.
Minor League – (Ages U12, U13, U14 and
U15)
The Minor League baseball program is
defined by age requirements, not grade level.
The placement of the player is determined
by their age. Players in their respective age
groups must not reach the next age before
May 1, 2011. For example, a player that is
13 years old as of or prior to May 1st, 2011
would play in the U13 division. A player that
turns 13 on or after May 2nd, 2011 would play
in the U12 division. A player may play up from
their age designated division, but may not play
down from it.
The focus of the Minor League is PLAYER
and TEAM DEVELOPMENT. During the
month of April, practice sessions will be held
by age group. The goal of this time is to have
all players and coaches in each age group
practice together using a predetermined practice
approach. The practice schedule will also allow
Minor League players and coaches to attend the

“I have been to In Touch
Physical Therapy for a knee
injury and a shoulder injury.
The therapists have taken the
time to get to know me and
know how important it is
for me to get back to sports.
After each injury they have
gotten me back in the game
before the start of the season.”

Youth with disabilities or special needs are
welcome and encouraged to participate in
existing youth sports, aquatics, trips and
summer programs. The “inclusion” policy of
this program provides all children registered to
participate with an equal advantage. Therefore
adaptive equipment, program modifications,
and other accommodations are used to assist the
individual as needed. Individualized consultation
with parents and coordination with the coach/
instructor help make the transition possible.
In addition, all coaches, WSI’s and summer
staff receive a brief orientation to working
with the child with disabilities in their initial
training sessions. 1 to 1 assistance for your
child is provided upon request. Registration:
When enrolling your child in sports and other
youth programs, we request that you check the
“Special Needs” column on the registration
form. We must be aware of any medical
condition that warrants medication or special
attention from Park and Recreation staff while
your child is in our care. Information shared
with a coach or instructor is confidential.
2011 Spring/Summer – Adapted

encourage the independent pursuit of leisure
interest, whenever possible. Night Club is a
place to establish and cultivate friendships
through recreation. Our usual meeting place is
SeniorPlace, but our location varies with activity
as well. Transportation to and from Night Club
is provided to residents within city limits free of
charge upon request. Call Wendy at 774-7360

in person at the Park and Recreation Board
Meeting. The board meets the second Tuesday
of the month. The actual permit must be filled
out and returned to the Park and Recreation
office one week prior to the board meeting that
they are planning on attending. This will allow
staff to calculate the administrative costs for their
request and put it on the park board agenda for
that month.
• No over-time hours can be used by the Park and
Recreation Staff to handle requests. For instance
– opening and closing of the Central Park Stage.
• For Central Park Stage Use: Someone within
the rental party must be trained to open and close
the stage –contact the Parks Department for a
staff member to train a volunteer between the
hours of 7 AM-3 PM. A charge of $100 will be
charged to open and to close the stage if no one
