The new fields at Fort Steilacoom Park are game-day ready! For the last few months the fields were under construction to replace the dirt in-fields with turf. Field 1 was also upgraded to be a collegiate level field so that it can serve as the home field for Pierce College’s baseball and softball teams.
Come out April 27, 2024 from 12-1 p.m. to Fort Steilacoom Park and help us celebrate their completion. We’ll have a ribbon cutting event, a short program with a welcome from Mayor Jason Whalen and the Lakewood City Council and representatives from Pierce College. There will also be a chance to get on the field and run the bases.
Stick around to watch the Pierce College Raiders Baseball team take the field for a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. The game is free and open to all. There will be food for purchase.
Come support Pierce College and see the new home field complex.
Beautiful ballpark! I’ve already attended three games there (one of them was a night game), and planning to see more. I hope that there is some form of security presence there to keep watch over this place; I would hate to see this ballpark vandalized by copper thieves, taggers, etc. Anyway, it’s nice to have something like this here in Lakewood. If funds permit, maybe down the road they can put a couple of nice soccer fields there (one of them could be lighted), making this part of Fort Steilacoom Park a little sports complex.
