Gary R McDonnell Park: Lakewood Youth Baseball

About Gary R McDonnell Park

Located in Lakewood, Gary R McDonnell Park features a versatile youth baseball field used by local rec leagues, school groups, and neighborhood teams. The quiet residential setting makes it a reliable training ground for developing players.

Field Conditions

The field includes a grass outfield and a dirt infield that hardens in warm, dry weather. The mound is portable and appropriate for 7U–12U pitchers. Fence distances are short, giving young hitters confidence. Dugouts are simple bench structures with limited shade.

Weather & Wind Patterns

Wind often blows north-to-south, pushing fly balls toward left field. Parking is available along surrounding streets and small park lots.

Tips for Players & Coaches

Because of elevation, the ball tends to carry well, especially on warm afternoons. Coaches should emphasize drop-step footwork for outfielders and teach infielders to anticipate fast hops. Parents should bring seating and adequate sun protection.
