In a related development, the Aiken County Public School District is currently overseeing the construction of new baseball and softball fields in North Augusta. These modern facilities are expected to be completed by April 26, 2025, just in time for the next baseball season. The North Augusta baseball team will continue to play at Riverview Park for the upcoming 2025 season before transitioning to the new sports complex directly across from North Augusta High School.
This substantial project, which has cost over $8 million, has faced multiple delays, including impacts related to Hurricane Helene. Head Coach Kevin Lynn expressed a desire for his team to start their season at the new fields rather than moving mid-season, underscoring the importance of a smooth transition.
The North Augusta Yellowjackets have a storied history at Riverview Park, where they have played for over 40 years. As the team gears up for their final season at this historic site, Coach Lynn’s team holds a balanced record of 40 wins and 40 losses during his tenure, making every game a significant part of their legacy at Riverview Park. Their season opener is scheduled for February 11, 2025, against Strom Thurmond.
This year will be bittersweet for the Yellowjackets, as they aim to have a strong final season at Riverview Park while preparing for their new home. Fans of North Augusta sports are encouraged to support local journalism to stay informed about the transitions and developments in the community’s athletics.
