Default question

This may seem like a stupid question but granted i didnt grow up in the richmond area....

Where's a good softball field I can use providing i get someone to throw with me? ANd no, m onroe park doesnt' count, nor anywhere else downtown. the backstop cant have holes in it JR TUcker's 2 min away but i just dont wanna be trespassing or something...and i'm in the west end so if its off on the other side of the planet i 'll need more than "near bobby's house" to get htere. hehe. thanks

There are several in the west end. There is a softball "complex" just south of I-295 between Woodman Rd and I-295. Don't have my map with me, not sure about any trespassing rules for public use.

If there is not bat involved, and you just want to toss around a softball, I'm up for it. Look for middle and high schools that have large open fields. The new high school over by Twin Hickory has a huge play area. The middle school on Pouncey Tract has large areas used for soccer fields that would be a good place.

Best bet is to find a public soccer field for the space.

There is a good batting cage at Bogey's Sports Park out by Mark's Performance Autosports, coupons pop up in Val-Pak mailers and Entertainment coupon books.

Public schools are well....public as long as your not tearing shit up.

I've used the track and tennis/basketball courts at a few local schools with no problems.
