Hertfordshire Baseball Club has recently unveiled exciting plans for the development and expansion of its baseball fields in 2009. [ READ MORE ON THE OFFICIAL NEWSWIRE ] Since 2006, Herts Baseball Club has seen a dramatic increase in new members joining the club and in 2008 introduced a third adult team to the British Baseball League. This, combined with the expansion of the Herts Little League, has meant that Grovehill Ballpark is too small to accommodate the club’s rapid growth.

Plans are already in place to build one of the best baseball complexes in the country. With the pro bono support of Property Lande Architecture, Herts Baseball will secure planning permission and draft detailed architectural blueprints and a strategy for future growth.

The project is to be implemented in several stages which include the creation of the second diamond, building of permanent outfield fence for both baseball diamonds, and finally, steps will be undertaken for the long-term improvement of the turf quality of both fields.

On Little League Game Days the ballpark will be turned into a baseball paradise for the kids with a capacity of as many as 6 Little League fields all of which would have permanent backstops

If Herts Baseball Club is selected to host the BBF Youth or Adult National Finals then there is the additional option of creating a temporary third field, which would also have a permanent wall covering around 60% of the outfield boundary.
