GAME DAY EXPERIENCE MATTERS | |
|
TAKE CARE OF YOUR FIELD AFTER EVERY USE!
To mitigate the chances of rainouts, the way each team leaves the fields after games and practices is critical. As we often say, simply leave the field better than you found it! All rec league and travel teams must rake the fields around home plate and the bases after each use (practice or game) as well as dispose of all the trash in the dugouts.

For baseball players 12 and under, if a bat has a barrel larger than 2-1/4 inches, it must contain the USABat stamp (not the USSSA stamp). No bat barrels shall exceed 2-5/8 inches.

LET US HELP YOU GET AROUND THE PARK | |
|
NEED A RIDE? FIND A RED OR BLUE BENCH AT THE PARK
OYO has five benches stationed around the park, take a seat and our Advisors on Duty will be around shortly with a golf cart to assist you with a complementary ride to a field or back to your car.
CATCH A RIDE AROUND THE PARK!
| | |
MAKE ROOM FOR THE AOD CARTS TO PASS THROUGH
As fans search for the perfect seat, particularly under the sheltered paths near Fields 6-9, here's an important reminder to ensure the paths remain clear for the AOD carts to make the rounds.
| | |
|
WE LOVE PETS, JUST NOT AT OYO
With the nice weather of late, we need to remind everyone OYO has a no-pet policy (except for service animals). This applies to practice nights and game days. Please share this with your visiting fans!
HELP OUR FAMILIES FEEL SAFE
| |
KNOW WHAT'S PERMITTED AT OYO
Beginning with no smoking or vaping, we want each and every family to have a memorable experience all around the park. Please share our rules with any visitors you welcome to the park.
| |
PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES
Help us help you! When it comes to keeping your vehicle safe and secure, there's a lot you can do with a few simple steps. First and foremost, keep your cars locked and secure. And, keep your valuables out of sight. Utilizing basic safety practices minimizes vehicle break-ins and theft while you enjoy the games. So, keep all valuables (such as phones, purses, electronics, equipment and personal belongings) out of plain view -- or even leave them at home -- and keep your cars locked and secure at all times.
| | |
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AT OYO
We look forward to welcoming you and your ballplayer to Veterans Memorial Park, the home of OYO, every week. Please always park within the park and never in surrounding neighborhoods or on private property, where you may be liable for your car being ticketed or towed. We want to be good neighbor to the homes that are adjacent to our fields. Please follow the parking recommendation signage to park where you can ensure the shortest walk to your field and safest location, too.
