Plans for Cottonwood Park Include Soccer Fields and Future Thomas Cloud House Restoration

The Huber Heights Council Work Session on August 19, 2025, spotlighted plans for enhancing community recreational spaces, particularly the potential development of soccer fields on Cottonwood. Council members confirmed that the area is playable and noted previous safety measures taken to eliminate trip hazards from former baseball stops. They emphasized that minimal costs would be involved in preparing the flat space for soccer use.

In addition to the soccer fields, discussions also touched on the historical significance of the Thomas Cloud House. Council members expressed a desire to explore its restoration and transformation into an event venue for the city. While this initiative is not part of the immediate plans due to current user group activities at the site, it remains a consideration for future phases of development.

These discussions reflect Huber Heights' commitment to enhancing community facilities while preserving its historical heritage, setting the stage for exciting developments in the city's recreational offerings.
