Cleveland County: Buck Thomas Park, Reaves Park & the Public-Benefit Ledger
Moore • Norman • Noble • Little Axe | Historical Hidden Valley tournament records: 2002–2026
A county whose source records are dominated by Moore’s Buck Thomas Park also contains Norman’s Reaves Park, school-based venues and tournament listings naming multiple sites. This report follows the dataset’s event, fee and visitor-spending estimates, then identifies the public records needed to establish who operated each site, who collected each payment and what taxpayers actually received.
County = Cleveland value. Another 64 cross-county division rows naming Cleveland are held outside the county totals because their source facility lists span more than one county and do not establish each division’s primary field. Numbers describe modeled historical activity, not verified cash collections, annual local GDP or title to a facility. Null and negative formula artifacts are explained in the method section.1. Cleveland County: historical tournament and financial ledger
| Historical measure | Dataset / scenario total | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|

2. Municipality / geographic activity — reconciled, not assumed receipts
Each division record is assigned to one location-label bucket. A source value such as “Moore, Norman” is kept unallocated instead of split across cities; city-level event counts are nonadditive because one event may appear in multiple municipal source rows.
Municipal activity: teams, entry fees and game workforce
| Source municipality | Event listings* | Division rows | Teams | Gross entries | Min. games | Official slots | Umpire pay model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moore | 443 | 1,886 | 15,753 | $2,349,804 | 46,454 | 77,728 | $3,109,120 |
| Norman | 65 | 154 | 1,350 | $295,294 | 3,416 | 6,612 | $264,480 |
| Noble | 3 | 12 | 150 | $0 | 491 | 603 | $24,120 |
| Moore, Norman | 5 | 8 | 55 | $11,866 | 115 | 205 | $8,200 |
| COUNTY TOTAL (deduplicated distinct events) | 506 | 2,060 | 17,308 | $2,656,964 | 50,476 | 85,148 | $3,405,920 |
Municipal activity: gate, concessions, sanctions and economic impact
| Source municipality | Gate gross | Concessions gross | Illustrative net @50% | Sanctions modeled | Day-impact model | Overnight model | Total spending model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moore | $8,541,300 | $4,270,650 | $2,135,325 | $188,730 | $2,231,465 | $5,568,163 | $7,799,628 |
| Norman | $656,500 | $328,250 | $164,125 | $17,700 | $107,440 | $664,122 | $771,562 |
| Noble | $274,200 | $137,100 | $68,550 | $1,725 | $68,550 | $0 | $68,550 |
| Moore, Norman | $15,700 | $7,850 | $3,925 | $700 | $4,675 | $29,478 | $34,153 |
| COUNTY TOTAL | $9,487,700 | $4,743,850 | $2,371,925 | $208,855 | $2,412,130 | $6,261,763 | $8,673,893 |
*Municipal event listings are calculated independently within each group and must NOT be added to reproduce countywide distinct events. The other municipal money and activity columns are additive and reconcile precisely to the countywide signed source ledger.
3. Ownership classification: city park administration, school venues and unanswered title questions
Most records involve Buck Thomas Park: 1,876 division rows, 15,591 team participations and $7,692,222 in modeled visitor spending. The City of Moore identifies Buck Thomas Park as a city park. That confirms municipal park administration, not the complete land-title or fee-rights history.
Moore — Buck Thomas Park
The City of Moore’s parks listing documents municipal park administration. Reporting attribution: Moore assumed municipal title unless deeds or lease records establish otherwise. School and university fields in combined Moore listings are not assigned a single city owner.
Norman — Reaves Park
The City of Norman lists Reaves Park and states that the Norman Optimist Club is the contact for baseball/softball field rentals. This illustrates why public-park management, field allocation, contractual operator and money recipient cannot be assumed identical.
Noble — school-associated sports complex
Noble Public Schools confirms that its baseball and softball facilities are located on the Noble High School campus. Classify these as school-associated / title not independently verified rather than automatically attributing campus facility revenues to the City of Noble.
Little Axe, academy and multi-site records
Little Axe facilities, private-academy-branded fields and school-campus combinations need deed, use agreement, operator and district verification. A single displayed municipality is an analytical fallback only; cross-city and mixed-owner listings remain unallocated to one legal owner.
4. Facility-level historical activity — all source groups accounted for
Every exact source facility-label combination appears below; comma-separated facility lists remain a single combined-site bucket because the data do not split division spending across individual fields. The economic-impact sum is derived from the division records, not multiplied by the number of venues named.

Who is assumed to own or operate which facility?
| Exact source facility label | Analytical attribution / evidence limitation |
|---|---|
| Buck Thomas Park | City of Moore park — assumed municipal title; city park administration documented |
| Reaves Park | City of Norman park — assumed municipal title; Norman Optimist Club field-rental contact |
| Little Axe Softball Fields | Norman source label → assumed municipal title; Little Axe status requires verification |
| Noble High School Sports Complex | Noble Public Schools campus — school operator independently identified; parcel title unverified |
| Buck Thomas Park, Reaves Park | Multiple municipalities — owner unallocated (Moore + Norman) |
| Buck Thomas Park, Mid America Christian University | Multi-venue entry — ownership split unresolved |
| Noble Softball Fields | Noble assumed municipal title; not verified independently |
| Griffin Ballpark | Norman source label → assumed municipal title; parcel title unverified |
| Little Axe High School Field, Little Axe Softball Fields | Multi-venue entry — ownership split unresolved |
| Buck Thomas Park, Moore High School | Multi-venue entry — ownership split unresolved |
| True Baseball Academy | Norman source label → assumed municipal title; academy-branded operation requires verification |
| Buck Thomas Park, Southmoore High School, Westmoore High School | Multi-venue entry — ownership split unresolved |
| Moore High School, Southmoore High School, Westmoore High School | Multi-venue entry — ownership split unresolved |
All facility and municipality monetary columns independently reconcile to the county totals. Event counts are intentionally not additive. Ownership entries are analytical confidence flags, not deed determinations; institution names and school campuses indicate possible different owners or operators.
5. Countywide economic-impact model — what the estimate measures, and what it does not
The Hidden Valley data contain row-specific DayTripRate, NightTripRate, DayStay and OverNightStay fields. For EACH division row, the source computes two spending scenarios and their sum. Although the field is called TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent, it is stored at division-row level. Never multiply this figure again by division count, event count or tournament days.
| County economic-impact component | Dataset sum | Interpretive limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Day-trip model | $2,412,130 | Spending proxy including multiweek league calendar multipliers |
| Overnight model | $6,261,763 | Lodging/travel proxy based on rate and night-stay assumptions |
| TOTAL (both components) | $8,673,893 | Gross modeled visitor spending; incremental local economic impact not proven |
Exact worked example from the 2002 Moore Softball source record
The division row with source TournamentID = 14989-1 reports 7 teams, a $85 day-trip rate, 1 day stay, a $289 overnight rate and 2 overnight stays. The modeled day impact is 7 × $85 × 1 = $595; the overnight impact is 7 × $289 × 2 = $4,046; the source total is $4,641. These do not demonstrate how many teams actually stayed overnight or where they spent money.
Do not replace the dataset’s changing rate assumptions with a statewide flat number
For these Cleveland County rows, DayTripRate appears at $25 or $85; NightTripRate at $0 or $289; overnight multipliers range from 0 to 6. The day-stay multiplier ranges from 1 into multiweek league schedules. The computations above use each record’s own inputs — not a retrofit based on a single modern tournament scenario.
DayStay > 14 (generally multiweek league assumptions), producing $1,136,900 of the county’s $2,412,130 modeled day-trip spending. These repeated-day team assumptions should not be described as independent traveling tournament visitors. The original dataset sums are reported transparently; a future evidence-based incremental-visitor model must separately test local teams, displaced spending, league repeat participation, visitors and actual nights.Why modeled visitor spending ≠ measured economic impact: the source does not independently establish visitor origin, room nights, leakage, incremental spending, displacement of existing local spending, sales-tax collections, city revenue shares, cost of public facilities or multiplier effects. Modeled spending cannot be added to tournament gross entry fees, gate or concessions without transaction overlap analysis. This article reports no independently audited net economic impact, return on public investment or tax gain.
6. Reproducible calculations, exceptional source rows and signed-value reconciliation
Dataset: AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026(2).csv (65 columns; source seasons 2001–2026). For this report use every row for which trimmed County exactly equals Cleveland, retaining the source row once. The records returned seasons 2002–2026. An out-of-county or multiple-county value is excluded until its primary venue is documented. Use Seasonid plus TournamentID with its trailing numeric division suffix removed to count distinct event listings. A source tournament can occur in multiple venue groups; county distinct events are independently deduplicated.
Direct sums: TeamsEntered; TotalTeamEntryFee; TotalMinimumGamesPlayed; TotalEventUmpires; TotalEventUmpireFees; TotalEventGate; TotalEventConcession; TotalUSSSASanctionFees; DayImpact; OvernightImpact; TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent. Currency values are parsed with their signs preserved. Illustrative net concessions is the only added scenario figure: 0.50 × Σ TotalEventConcession, with 30% and 70% sensitivity, not an actual cost-of-goods ledger.
Source model detail: tournament entry model is stored as TotalTeamEntryFee, typically a product of TeamsEntered and EntryFeePerTeam after the source’s adjustments; minimum games and slot counts use source-derived schedule assumptions; umpire pay follows TotalEventUmpireFees rather than a newly invented year-by-year rate. The Cleveland extract uniformly displays UmpirePayPerGame = $40, which is a source modeling rate, not independently verified historical compensation for all years.
TotalMinimumGamesPlayed = −1, negative TotalEventUmpires and negative modeled umpire fees. Published reconciled source-signed totals are 50,476 games, 85,148 slots and $3,405,920 expenses. As a nonnegative-only diagnostic, excluding these eight aberrant division rows would produce 50,484 games, 85,163 slots and $3,406,520 expenses; team/visitor-spending totals are unaffected because those eight rows have zero teams. The main financial ledgers preserve the source values for exact reconciliation.Some of the zero-team entries name a 2019 “Rained Out” event. A dataset event listing is not proof that all games occurred or all modeled gate/concession collections happened. Actual event status, canceled brackets, field reservations and deposit refunds require confirmation. The companion audit file identifies each questioned division.

7. Primary facility county audit — excluded cross-county listings
There are 64 additional division rows whose source County text includes Cleveland together with another county. They describe multi-venue tournaments such as Moore/Choctaw, Moore/FireLake, Moore/Chickasha and other regional combinations. They are deliberately excluded from the Cleveland headline and must not be subdivided equally among every listed venue. Obtain original brackets, city reservation records or contemporaneous host-facility assignments to determine the primary facility for each division and assign that entire division to the primary venue’s county. If the primary location is not clear, retain Unresolved until documented.
| Exact cross-county label | Held division records | Attribution |
|---|---|---|
| Cleveland, Oklahoma | 28 | Unresolved; not included in Cleveland source-coded totals |
| Cleveland, Pottawatomie | 13 | Unresolved; not included in Cleveland source-coded totals |
| Cleveland, Oklahoma, Seminole | 6 | Unresolved; not included in Cleveland source-coded totals |
| Cleveland, Grady | 3 | Unresolved; not included in Cleveland source-coded totals |
| Caddo, Canadian, Cleveland, Kingfisher | 2 | Unresolved; not included in Cleveland source-coded totals |

8. Public finance, park use agreements and working better together
The public benefit cannot be established by a modeled gate figure alone. For each municipal park or school facility, the financial record should trace original public capital investment; debt/taxes/grants; lease or license authority; parking/gate/concession rights; per-game or annual rent; utilities; maintenance; security; insurance; and whether any proceeds are earmarked for resident programs.
Moore / Buck Thomas: compare field-use proposals, city council approvals, contract amendments, facility reservations and actual receipts/expenses by season. The Moore City Clerk is the municipal records custodian. See the archive’s existing Buck Thomas Park research landing page as research context; the original public agreements and vote records, not a secondary summary, must decide the contract terms.
Norman / Reaves: the city’s park page names the Norman Optimist Club as the baseball/softball field-rental contact. Request a dated agreement documenting whether the Club schedules, leases, collects fees, carries insurance and/or remits amounts to the city. A Norman municipal facility planning document lists budgeted Reaves baseball/softball expansion at approximately $10 million plus an adult-softball component of $1.25 million; these are planning figures, not evidence of actual spending, a tournament-specific subsidy or tournament receipts.
Noble / schools: the school athletics directory identifies the Noble High School complex. School board facility-use policies and district revenue accounts should be checked separately from the City of Noble’s municipal books. Little Axe records may require city, county or school-district custodians once ownership is established.
Better Together opportunity: a shared public-facing annual field inventory could disclose owner, operator, scheduling authority, youth/community access hours, published rates, tournament agreements, public costs and any destination-marketing claims, in a consistent format across Moore, Norman, Noble, school districts and youth nonprofit leagues. Intercity cooperation is a proposed improvement, not a finding of any present legal duty or wrongdoing.
9. Judicial records and district-attorney jurisdiction — proceedings are not proof of guilt
Jurisdiction: the Oklahoma District Attorneys Council identifies District 21 for Cleveland, Garvin and McClain Counties; the District 21 office identifies Jennifer Austin as District Attorney. Criminal charging decisions are a matter for proper authorities. Contract and land-use disputes generally require analyzing the actual agreements and the appropriate civil forum. The District Attorney’s Civil Division also advises county—not automatically city—officials on statutory matters. This research makes no allegation that a tournament operator committed a crime.
Verified contemporary municipal-facility litigation — separate from this dataset
On October 17, 2026, the City of Norman publicly announced that the City and Norman Municipal Authority filed a civil suit in Cleveland County District Court on October 16, 2026 involving construction of the Young Family Athletic Center (YFAC). The City alleged design/construction defects and said $1.5 million in contractor retainage would remain withheld while issues were resolved. The City reported the facility remains open. Status: newly filed allegations; no adjudicated fault or final outcome established in this research. The YFAC is not represented as one of the Hidden Valley baseball/softball fields in this county dataset. The case demonstrates the need to follow original project contracts, acceptance, retainage and court dockets for public recreation assets. Official City of Norman statement, October 17, 2026.
Separate, concluded official county matter — NOT a youth-sports case
For comparison of the terms allegation and disposition, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s April 27, 2026 announcement describes a no-contest plea, resignation, restitution and deferred sentence concerning the former Cleveland County sheriff’s campaign funds. It is unrelated to youth sports, Buck Thomas Park, Reaves Park, the YFAC dispute or these dataset totals; no inference regarding those institutions is warranted. The original docket and judgment should control any detailed legal characterization beyond the AG announcement.
Tournament-related outcomes: no certified court ruling establishing misallocation of the county’s historical youth-sports tournament entry, gate or concession collections was identified in the primary sources reviewed for this article. A complete comprehensive docket search of all names and years has not been performed. Do not treat missing records in this article as proof that none exist.
10. Auditor and municipal financial statements — what remains to be reconciled
Moore: the City publishes fiscal-year budgets, audited financial statements and federal single audits through its official budget and audits page. Its FY2025 Annual Financial Statements and Single Audit are listed there. Norman: the city publishes audited reports, FY2025 ACFR and historical budget reports at its official finance reports collection. Norman announced recognition for the FY2025 ACFR on September 21, 2026. These are transparent entry points for the inquiry, not a claim that we have reconciled a line item to each tournament.
County / Oklahoma State Auditor: review the State Auditor and Inspector’s official office and the officially catalogued county-audit reports index to obtain Cleveland County financial audits and any relevant special examinations. Request sports-park-related management letters and corrective-action documentation only where the actual audited entity and period match. A state audit of a different county department must never be repurposed as a finding against parks, leagues or tournament directors.
11. Open-records tracker — prepared research targets, not claimed submissions
The records below are the narrow, event-date-specific documents most likely to convert modeled estimates into independently supportable findings. This Day 4 report does not claim that a new request was submitted or that any agency has supplied a response for the individual questions below.
| Records custodian / target | Target evidence needed | Status on Oct 19, 2026 | Starting link |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Moore — Clerk, Parks, Finance | Buck Thomas Park: 2002–2026 field leases/licenses, tournament-director RFPs and bid scoring, awards and council approvals; fee schedules and gate/concession rights; actual per-event receipts, expense ledgers, settlement reports, refunds, and parks capital budgets | Research / production not confirmed | City Clerk record requests |
| City of Norman — Clerk, Parks, Finance | Reaves Park, Griffin Ballpark and Little Axe location verification; Optimist Club agreements and any amendments; annual field rental calendars, payments/remittances, concessions, reservations, and Norman Forward Reaves budget-to-actual project records | Research / production not confirmed | Records request information |
| Noble Public Schools / other districts | Noble high-school complex and separately named school-campus facilities: joint-use contracts, board approvals, funds paid to district, field rental policies, insurance, gate and concession arrangements | Research / production not confirmed | District facilities directory |
| Cleveland County — County Clerk / Assessor | Deeds, assessor parcel ownership, leases/easements and county budget records involving listed facilities; verify geographic jurisdiction before requesting operator accounts | Research / production not confirmed | County agenda center |
| Cross-county source-host audit | 64 unallocated division rows: corresponding brackets, venue assignments, city facility calendars, operator letters and original event-page PDFs keyed to source TournamentID and Seasonid | Location unresolved | HVIOG research archive |
Fee/process note: Norman publishes an online records request route and records costs and review information. Moore’s clerk office explicitly accepts Oklahoma Open Records Act requests.

This is public-interest research into youth sports facilities and public finance. Calculated figures, labels, audit references and legal status are expressly distinguished from audited collections, adjudications, and claims of misconduct. A field, a fee model and a city label alone do not prove ownership, control, where revenue went or whether the public gained or lost money.
