Rebuild Oak Hill

Rebuild Oak Hill Historical Archive of the horrific flooding that destroyed the Oak Hill baseball and softball fields Please consider helping in whatever way you can.

On Sunday, October 13, an historic rain event in southwest Austin caused extensive flood damage to an equally historic institution. Established in 1967, OHYSA (or Oak Hill as most know it) has been teaching baseball, softball, teamwork, participation and leadership to generation of Austinites. The damage to our fields is extensive, and it will take thousands of volunteer hours, and donations of equipment and money to get us back on track. Even if it's only to spread the word.

Hey folks! Thanks for checking in and keeping this page active. We will keep this page up and functioning in the event that future flooding occurs. We have high hopes that the Oak Hill Parkway project's flooding intervention plans (detention and retention ponds and a "riverwalk" type plan for the creek) will help. In the meantime, we encourage anyone that wants to keep up with OHYSA generally (and not just for the highs and lows of major infrastructure projects!!) to visit our "regular" page - www.facebook.com/oakhillhysa True story - we couldn't score the shortcut OHYSA on FB because there's a guy in Albania named O. Hysa using it! As always, thanks for all of your support and love!

I know many people are wondering! No, the Halloween floods of 2015 did NOT cause any damage to the fields! There is a minimal amount of damage to the parking lot, but the fields are up and running in time for Fall End of Season tournament, which begins tonight. Thank you all for your concern and questions!!

Sunday September 21st, we will be having a cleanup day beginning at 12:00pm. We ask for as many hands as possible, parent and player, volunteer an hour or two of the day to get fields cleaned an operational.

The majority of the work will involve trash and debris cleanup, and clearing rocks from outfields.

We ask that you bring any of the following. Please mark your equipment with your name or identifying tape.

work gloves
shovels
rakes
wheelbarrows or buckets
chainsaws and blades
gas powered blowers

What field you work on is dependent on need. There will be ants and mosquitos. Plan accordingly. Water and light snacks provided.

Please try and make this work day - it would have been a day you would have been playing regardless.

Thanks as always for your support.
