“Build it and they will come, “…Field of Dreams.
What used to be farm fields has been transformed into baseball/softball diamonds. The process has been very interesting and quite involved. First comes a lot of earth moving, grading, adding many layers of substructure, irrigation, electrical lines, and light bases. Next, it’s all leveled, and the work can begin above ground. Finally, the outfield grass can be planted and fertilized, and the infields get graded and top dressed. While that is happening the backstops, dugouts, and structures for protective netting, outfield fencing, and batting cages are being built.
To date, the out-field grass has grown in very well and infields are finished with adjustable bases and pitching mounds. The dugouts, backstop walls are built, and protective netting installed. The northwest field and warmup cages are all fenced in with the other three due for fencing this spring.
The field sizes are adjustable but the full length and description of each is;
Fields 1 &2: 300 feet down the center, skinned infields, five adjustable base pegs
Field 3: 335 feet down the center, 300 down the lines, skinned infields, five adjustable base pegs
Fields 4: 375 feet down the center, 290 down the lines, grass infield, 90 foot bases
Spring 2022:
Concrete will be finalized in the common areas, the concession/press box pavilion will be built, and batting cages added.
Our baseball/softball quad development will be finished.
