New Ballfields
Athletes can now batter-up at two new ball fields at North Hempstead Beach Park. Both fields feature a synthetic turf infield and new sod in the outfield. A high-tech scoreboard will be installed in the near future.
One field is completely enclosed by a fence and features a warning track. The other baseball diamond’s outfield has been left open so that the playing surface can be easily reconfigured to accommodate any number of other sports, including soccer.
A permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation is required to secure this space. Learn more by dialing 311.
