Nicest high school diamond..?

by jag1 » Thu May 07, 2009 4:11 am

A new high school diamond may be in the works for our team, (or possibly a four diamond complex..) and was wondering what schools had the nicest playing fields around the state..?? Also, what about softball complexes...?

Newton Park just south of South Bend on US31 is very nice. Laville High School plays some of there home games there. It was built by the owner of Hoosier Racing Tires. The concession/anouncing building is round, with 360 degree smoked glass, and a Gold Dome. All the fencing is vinyl coated. Very nice and well maintained.

Ben Davis has a really nice varsity field and adjoining complex. For non-HS complex, I've always liked Midwest in north Indy. I certainly haven't been everywhere, but those are two of the best one's I've been to.

Locally

Avon, FC, Center Grove, North Central, HSE, Ben Davis and Noblesville are very nice.

Statewide I would have to give a big nod to Booneville.

Lafayette Jeff's new diamond was not finished in time for the softball season. The outfield was seeded just this spring and has not come in fully yet. The old car wash that will be torn down to make a parking lot has some contamination issues that need to be resolved. So the field sits idle this season.

For a stand alone single diamond, Pendleton Heights.

Carmel is building a new four diamond facility designed somewhat like Ben Davis. Will be ready for this season.
