Turf Field
Artificial grass offers a stable and consistent playing surface. Artificial grass creates the ideal flat surface for players to work on improving their hitting and pitching skills. Synthetic turf sports fields are safer than natural grass fields as they do not have depressions or bumps like real grass can have.

Warning Track
The change of terrain serves as a "warning" for fielders trying to make a deep catch that they are running out of room, since it is often difficult for the fielder to keep his eye on a fly ball while keeping track of his position relative to the wall. It runs parallel to the ballpark's outfield wall and makes the field safer.
Batting Cage
Utilizing a batting cage is one of the quickest ways to develop the skills needed to be a successful batter. While many will argue that there is no better way to improve your batting than with a live pitcher simulating game conditions, there are many advantages to practicing in a batting cage, especially at a young age.

Concession Stand
Concession foods are low cost, giving you great flexibility in pricing. Most average profit margins of 70% or higher. Encourage Attendance – Food is an attraction that brings people together, helping to keep attendance numbers up.
New Fence
Current fencing around the field is old, unsightly, and reduces visibility. The new fencing that we would install would improve not only appearance and visibility, but would be larger in size to increase safety.

Bleachers
The most important feature of a bleacher is the safety of the spectators. We would like to increase the size and quantity of our bleachers to accommodate a larger audience.
