Schaeffer Park

Schaeffer Park provides West Texas A&M softball players and coaches with an all-inclusive complex that includes locker rooms, meeting rooms, batting cages and one of the best playing surfaces anywhere in the country.

WT’s dream of a new, state-of-the-art softball complex became a reality when ground was broken in a ceremony in the winter of 2009. Construction workers worked continuously to complete the facility, which also competition fields for soccer, track and field and baseball along with tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, three intramural fields for flag football and slow-pitch softball and practice facilities for football, soccer and the WTAMU Marching Band. The result was the creation of one of the nation’s premier collegiate sports complexes.

Schaeffer Park, formerly Lady Buff Yard, was completed in December of 2010 and it includes ticket and concession buildings and a spacious pressbox with radio/television booths. The home dugout is connected to the team’s clubhouse which consists of coaches’ offices, a laundry facility, a team meeting room and locker room.
