Since the first field was built under the water tower in the late 1970s, a baseball game could always be found at the North end of Lydell Avenue.  Much has changed in the last 45 years, but you can still find a ball game under the water tower in Whitefish Bay.   

In 2012 Craig Counsell Park was dedicated as the home of Whitefish Bay Little League in honor of Whitefish Bay native and resident Craig Counsell. The dedication and 10 years since have seen significant improvements made to the ball park through the generosity of our community. 

As we look to the future, Whitefish Bay Little League hopes to continue improving our facilities to provide our players and their families with a  ball park they look forward to visiting for years to come.  Please find below a short list of our recent league improvements and our future projects.
