Baseball Fields
The City of Beresford maintains the Grave V. Nelson Memorials Fields and the "Tiny" Lawrenson Memorial Field.
Grace V. Nelson Memorial Fields
Grace V. Nelson touched the lives of many children throughout her teaching career in both city and country schools. When Grace passed away in 2002, she left money for the City of Beresford and wanted the proceeds to be used for the enjoyment of Beresford children.
Cited by Grace's niece, "From four words, so simple and common, "children, church, community and country, will spring years of enjoyment for Beresford area youth."
"Tiny" Lawrenson Memorial Field
Lawrence "Tiny" Lawrenson was remembered for his efforts in the promotion of baseball. On July 12, 1984 a ceremony was held dedicating the baseball field in his name, "Tiny" Lawrenson. "Tiny" managed, umpired and donated much time and effort in helping renovate the field.
