Turf Field Surface
We want everyone to be aware that the infields at Memorial Park Baseball/Softball Complex are a synthetic turf surface. This means that no metal cleats (whatsoever) are allowed on these fields. We will permit rubber molded cleats to be used, but we recommend turf shoes or tennis shoes on the synthetic turf surface.
