Ehhh, I don't know how to feel. Kidd were hateful last year and this year is not turning much better after warning coaches about my son and I have literally watched kidd hit each other and watched things happen but yet supposedly only my child is aggressive. After something I watched last week I can understand why.... I sit and watch I'm not a mom that has a group of moms or friends to talk to so I can see what's going on and I watch my sons behavior & have been told they got it when I'm getting into him goofing off in the field. The fields are amazing, beautiful and I will say coaches are working more with the kids one on one this season. I've always avoided sports due to parent drama and the my kids perfect attitudes and clearly nothing has changed in the 18years my oldest did anything and I will be the 1st to stand up and say hey 👋 my kid has severe ADHD and come practice his meds have worn off so he is anxious and fidgety. The league president had a couple teams which should not be allowed as they should be neutral. And I'm sorry but if kids on teams are in the competitive team for the field they shouldn't be chosen for the end of the season all star team other players on the team should have a chance to be recognized.

Their are a few good coaches here who really love the kids and want them to enjoy the game but the main bases of the park is run on politics. The current president I think shouldn't even be allowed around younger children, he uses intimidation tactics, on 5 to 8 year olds, tells them not even to smile when batting "i only want to see serious faces", talks to them like he's disgusted if they strike out...etc. He has put out a statement saying that they use the young and less experienced umpires to coach the younger teams and he manipulates the umpires to make his calls. (This is not just a personal judgement but an issue many parents have complained about) I really hope that next season they have a new president but not only that, get this man away from children who are looking up to him. My five year old told him sorry his team lost and he ignored her and walked away. If this man is not taken out of leadership we will most likely not be back, I want my daughter to learn and have fun and he is setting a horrible example to these kids. The good coaches can save this league, they have good hearts and really teach the kids to have fun and how to play. I hope someone can make this change and get this park back to a wholesome baseball league.

Great place to watch some true baseball. The coaches I know there are great with the kids. The newer coaches are learning.

One of my favorite place for baseball practice and games. My granddaughter loves the kid friendly park. I do to its in eye sight with "a gate" I really like it because the park is right there where I can still watch the game unless im out by field 3 or 4..

Questions & Answers

Are these public fields where I can bring my kids to practice on weekends?

Aaron, if you show up and no one is playing on a field then yes, you can use the field to practice. Most games are held in the evening. But if a team shows up to play or practice, you will have to give the field up. Field 5 (clay field) is usually always free.

Yes

Those fields suck, some of the worse one's that I've seen. I don't why people are trying to give the place a good name

Still doesn't change the fact that they suck and kids are in high risk of injuries like that one kid from auburndale. And for the amount of money they charge per tournament you figure they be in better conditions.
