Best Parks to play softball in So Cal.

I love the complex in Chino (can't think of the name at the moment) The facilities and turf are top notch. Decent parking. Heard a rumor Valley Wide (Hemet/Winchester) will be opening a new facility with 6 or eight fields soon. Too bad it's a long drive for most.

Alicia Park has nice seating but cramped warm-up areas and it's too funny seeing the center fielders playing back to back.

Field of Dreams in Palm Springs is a fun for place to watch as long as it's not 96 degrees in the shade.

Would have to agree on Alicia Park. Have you seen that bbq, they are sponsored by Lawrys. Bill Barber is nice too. That new park in Chino is okay if you like turf, I remember being there in the high 90 degree heat and that turf was just as hot.

Does anyone know where this new facility in south Corona/Lake Elsinore is located???

Way up on the hill off the 91 Fwy - Arellano's STARZ Host there - awesome facility, but the wind is overbearing regardless of temperature, and from what I understand, it is present uch more than it is not.

So what are you saying is it the best park to play at or not? With all the wind maybe a good park to fly a kite.

WOW -- No Field of Dreams facilities even mentioned thus far. The heat is everywhere we play so take that reason away. Palm Springs, and Chino Hills get my vote You can get inside and get a cold glass of suds and check the scores on TV. See your DD smack one to the green monster that is good stuff. I can't wait to play at the new one in Puente Hills.

Too impersonal for my tastes. I like Alicia Park...lots of shade, close proximity seating, nice playground, etc.

Just a great aesthetic there...to me it feels like a softball field should feel, if that makes any sense.

I have now been to Oggi's twice once in Mission Viejo and once in H.B. and I have to say good stuff right there. That park in Mission Viejo (Alicia Park)would get my vote but we played on the field with the downhill cement gutter that if you hit into you win the prize of automatic homerun.

You have to include Cerritos Sports Complex in any top five SoCal venues...
