How to Reserve an Athletic Field or Court

Know Before You Go

The baseball field is currently closed for installation of a state-of-the-art lighting system. Recreational lighting greatly increases the amount of time the field is usable on a year-round basis, and will make more playing time available to permitted teams. Thank you for your patience as we improve your park.
