Wallace Marine Sports Complex

Built in 1986, the Wallace Marine Park Softball Complex was the first star complex constructed in the United States. Its five natural, lit fields are surrounded by shaded and grassy park areas. Each playing field has its own electric scoreboard and fully automatic irrigation. The 300-foot fields are also adaptable to Little League and youth baseball.
