St. Joseph City Commissioners have approved a 50-year lease of Dickinson Park's baseball and softball fields to St. Joseph Public Schools. This agreement allows the school district to continue using the facilities for athletics programs and make improvements using taxpayer funds. The lease helps attract students to the district, maintains public access to the park, and may end if the park is not used for its intended purpose for three years. Upgrades planned include restrooms, parking areas, and playgrounds, as outlined in the 2018 parks master plan.
