Rock Creek Recreation Commission (RCR) is a non-profit organization that receives no tax payer support. We operate solely on volunteered time. Our yearly budget is funded off concession sales, registrations and donations. Yearly expenses include items such as uniforms, equipment, electricity, water, and maintenance to our ball fields. We are registered with the state of Kansas as a not-for-profit entity.
Our mission is to promote and establish youth activities for any child in the region. Over 500 children registered and played baseball, softball, and tball with the RCR in the 2021 season, ranging from ages five to fourteen. Our teams compete against similar teams from surrounding areas. More than 1000 families visit our fields each year.
The Rock Creek area (St. George and Westmoreland area) is located as a bedroom town to the larger community of Manhattan, we don’t have a large industrial base to call upon for support. It is a unique situation to be part of a rapidly growing area without a consistent financial funds from either the city or school district. Nearly all “Rec Departments” in the state are funded by their respective cities, schools, or both. We exist solely through registration fees, sponsorship's and donated time.
In July 2020 we finished a brand new ball field and concession stand at St. George.
We are now saving any funds that we can from concession sales, registrations and business donations to work towards future improvements at our baseball/softball fields. Such as retaining walls, updates to the concession and bathroom areas, a possible playground area, and ultimately, more new fields!!! If you know of anyone with 10+acres of land that they would be willing to sell to the SGRC, either on payments, discounted rate, or willing to donate some of it, PLEASE contact us!!!
