Pershing Field baseball fields are seldom used and take up a large portion of the park. If they we’re constantly in use during baseball season I would have no gripe.

This exact location is honestly the reason why I started this thread. Over the past few years I’ve only seen them being used for little league a few weekends in summer.

I saw a few adult games going on an odd evening last summer there, but definitely not a very well-used area over the course of the year.

From my experience they are used a lot during baseball season, it's just that the high school games that take place there are usually right after school when most people are still working.

There was a meeting last year about finding space for a dog run in Pershing Field that both Boggiano, Saleh, and the PF neighborhood association seemed to be behind. No update since then though. I don't know why they can't simply convert the smaller field and use the larger one for baseball and softball with temporary fencing they can put up for outfield walls for softball/LL.

Lol I'm 95% sure this was the same day Amy did her hit and run. She was supposed to be there and Saleh made some excuse as to why she couldn't attend.
