Bingham Memorial Hospital - Memorial Field Ballpark

Bingham Memorial Hospital (BMH) partnered with city officials to have a new ballpark constructed. Since 2007, BMH has donated a total of $250,000 to the cityâ€™s baseball complex, with additional funds provided by the city of Blackfoot. Construction on Memorial Field began in spring 2007, and the first full season of use for three completed diamonds began in 2009. Now there are six diamonds for game play. In summer 2014, six scoreboards purchased by BMH and an area company were installed. In the future, the city hopes to build a concession stand, add a paved parking lot, and install lighting.
