Paul Mattingly Field

2010 Ball Registration Form

In April, 2001, one of New Haven’s major youth volunteers passed away.  His name was

Paul Mattingly.  He had served the youth of the community as a coach, an umpire, a

groundskeeper, etc. for more than 30 years.  In July of 2001, the Board of Commissioners

was approached by a former resident of New Haven, Brent Coy, requesting that some

type of Memorial be considered for Mattingly.  A committee was appointed and their

recommendation was to rename the Little League Field. The name was changed to the

Paul Mattingly Field and an archway to the entrance of the field was erected designating

it as such.  Several donations were received and a softball tournament was held to fund

this project.  No City monies were expended.  While the Paul Mattingly Field is not

available for rent, we do have a large picnic area that the public is encouraged to use on

a first come, first served basis.
