Scheduled Ball Field Usage
A field may be rented utilizing the Triumph Park Ball Field reservation system for your activity. Please make sure that your usage complies with the outlined rules and regulations for each of the fields or practices pods.
Practice and Warm-up Guidelines
Please do not hit or throw directly into any fences within Triumph Park. No soft toss or batting drills will be allowed on the outfield turf at any time. Each field has a batting cage associated with it and should be utilized for hitting drills. Observe turf conditions and rotate location of warm-ups and practice drills to avoid excess wear to the turf. Please stay off the foul line. No usage will be allowed on fields by teams or individuals that are not scheduled on that field. Teams should be completely done with their practice at the completion of their designated time and exit the field and practice facilities promptly. Teams should verify that the area is cleaned of trash and is in the same condition as when they arrived.
- No metal spikes inside the batting cages
- No sunflower seeds within artificial turf areas including batting cages; sunflower seeds must be disposed of in a proper container
