A Safe Place to Play, Practice, and Grow

The batting cages coming to Sparks Lake Activity Center are designed for more than competitive training — they’re a community recreation feature built for families, youth groups, and local teams who want a structured place to practice and have fun.

We’re building outdoor training space that supports positive activity year-round. From after-school practice time to weekend clinics, SLAC is becoming a destination where kids can stay active, coaches can lead safely, and families can cheer them on.

  • Youth practices, basic skills training, and confidence building
  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family-friendly recreation nights and community play days
  • 🏫 School teams and local leagues needing structured practice space
  • 🎟️ Clinics, camps, and seasonal programs hosted on-site
