Fun Fact

This marks the second LaBella-designed field at Eastridge High School to earn ASBA recognition. The baseball field, completed in 2019, also received a Distinguished Facility Award in the same category.

 

Discover the Design:

Overcoming a shallow groundwater table and proximity to a bus facility, LaBella designed the award-winning 1-acre turf softball field with innovative solutions. The project included retaining walls for elevation, 20-foot netting for safety, and green infrastructure for drainage—all while maintaining ADA accessibility.
