Chuck Klein Softball Complex

The softball complex has 3 fields. The fields are ok. They could work for a rec league. There is lots of parking available here in their private lot. The fields have dugouts and some nice picnic table areas between them. The are lighted and better than average. The complex is named after Chuck Klein AKA the Hoosier Hammer. Klein played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates and led the National League in home runs four times, and won the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1932.What you may not know is that there is a football field buried behind the softball fields, hence its real name, Chuck Klein Sports Complex. The football field needed a good mowing when I was there and the goal post are adequate. They will get the job done.I really like the patio area in the complex building that is up high and overlooks the fields. There are tables and chairs up there.At the front of the complex, near the entrance is a shelter with picnic tables. Next to the shelter is a horseshoe pit that has seen better days. In addition to that, there is some huge green space surrounding the shelter. You can do a lot of outdoor activities there. So, you do not need to actually be playing an organized sport to enjoy the park. This is a nice place to host a softball tournament or league. They have also hosted rugby, cricket and ultimate frisbee. I visited the park off season, and they were still working on the complex's maintenance. The staff here is awesome as well.

I spend my Wednesday nights here during the summer with my work softball team. It's a pretty nice complex, the fields are well-manicured. One of them dips pretty severely in center field so that's a bit of a hazard. Last night we lost by a pretty large margin. I wish there was some rule that wouldn't allow teams to run up the score past 20. It's not fun at that point.

Not a bad complex on the near west side. My son had a baseball tournament here this summer and even though the fields are softball (with safety bases...boo) it is fine. There was so much rain and the games almost didn't happen but the crews worked exceedingly hard to dry fields as much as possible. Nothing laundry detergent wouldn't solve.

I do enjoy the games at this particular ball park. When the weather cooperates, the refs seem very fair and the teams eager to play. I have frequented this ballpark a number of times to watch my future brother in law play. I enjoy that the staff is very visible, as is the man in charge. I hope to return many times to see more games played.

I play on the rec league with my work, but Love playing softball here on Wednesday evenings. There is plenty of parking, and the fields are very well maintained. They always have a concession stand. The games go right at 1 hr and the umpires are pretty fair, and everyone just has a good time and knows each other. I look forward to meeting new people every time i go.

Here for a softball tournament all weekend, along with several hundred other people. Only 5 stalls in the women's bathroom and 3 were out of order on day 1. By day 2 there was only 1 stall and minimal toilet paper. Floors were always wet and dirty from one of the toilets that was broken and continuously flushing.
