★★Happily Ever Hendersons

Attended for a fall ball travel tournament. No outside food or drink is said to be allowed. I did call the manager about my son's food allergy. He was very accommodating and pleasant. No special documentation was required to bring in food for our family to assure no cross contamination exposure. Coolers, wagons, bags, etc. we're actually not checked for anyone on our team ever. We saw people bringing in bags of McDonald's. For our early morning game, many people ordered door dash or brought in breakfast take out due to no breakfast food options being available. The menu is VERY LIMITED and though promised to be "affordable," I could see how it could be a financial (and gastric AND nutritional) burden to families. Chicken tenders, fries, burgers, hot dogs, nachos, soft serve ice cream, soda, Gatorade, mozzarella sticks, beer, and hard seltzer. I would say, being more nutritionally conscious, most families do not include these foods in their diet. Let alone for an entire weekend. The grounds are packed pretty tight with turfed baseball fields and one set of metal bleachers per team by the dug out. This leaves an awkwardness for spectators to set up a space of their own with canopies etc. And there is zero shade. The bathrooms are a bit of a walk away from the fields. Definitely a burden for elderly or physically impaired guests. Parking is okay. I wouldn't park close to the main building though, in foul ball territory. We saw a bunch of cars get hit. I did appreciate the netting over the bleachers and concessions area. There are batting cages way off beyond the fields but no great warm up/ pre game practice areas. Infield is turf. Outfield is grass. Under 13U bases are VERY close.

This is a busy place with constant baseball tournaments and other events. Parking is adequate but you may have a long walk to the entry gate since the parking lot runs parallel to the facility. The fields are all artificial turf and kept in good condition. The entire park is well maintained and clean. The restrooms are reasonably clean but can be a long walk depending on which ballfield you are coming from. Night lighting is good both on and off the field. The food at the concession stands is about what you would expect but the wait time can be excessively long at 10 to 15 minutes plus. Spectator views from the aluminum stands can be severely limited due to blockage by the dugouts and the type of fencing used. I am not an expert on fencing but there has to be a better way to allow views of the game. It always about the money so I am guessing that the thick linkage used in the fencing is the cheapest way to go. I have been to other ball parks where a nearly invisible netting is used which allows spectators to actually get a great view of the game. The view is OK from the outfield fence, but you are too far away to satisfactorily see the game.

This is a great place and there is nothing like this in Rhode Island. I would really love it if Rhode Island would build something like this. It makes having a tournament so much better. It's more comforting to bring your family and children to an establishment like this also. The only addition that I would think they could use is a playground for families with children. The concession stand was extremely reasonably priced, and the food was decent enough. I can't wait to come back.

This is a small complex with both indoor fields in a dome and outdoor turf soccer pitches, as well as baseball diamonds. The is seating along the sidelines and even in a covered bench area around some fields. We were here for a soccer camp and while small, they seemed to si a nice job accomodating.

It’s all about the money here. You can’t bring in any food or drinks. There is a $4 each admission charge. Players are forced to purchase drinks as well. While the fields look nice it’s just Astro turf over concrete. I wouldn’t be surprised if they start charging for parking.
