Softball

St. Joseph residents have been fans of softball for many years and remain a cornerstone of softball in Missouri. Each year many teams participate in St. Joseph Parks and Recreation softball leagues. This translates into approximately 2,000 people who comprise one of the largest softball programs in the state. All adult league play takes place at Bill McKinney Softball Complex at Heritage park, five nights a week. Yes, we have a kickball league.
