My parents took me here during vacations when I was a child, and now I visit with my children. The space has improved a lot over the years. There's still the beautiful small lake that the park is centered around. They've added a small dock with a covered space that includes benches. My children and I love watching all of the turtles swimming in the water below. For anyone who needs a space to run / walk, there is a paved path that circles the park. For the kids, there are two separate playgrounds -- one geared towards younger kids and one towards older kids. During the summer months, they often hold free movie nights here, complete with snacks. We watched a screening of "Lilo and Stitch" projected on a large screen that a group had set up. Bathrooms are available. A Free Little Library is next to the playgrounds. Overall, a truly great and functional little park.

So this year, we decided to head to Myrtle Beach to the Ripken Experience. We did the week long…read moretournament and everyone made a vacation out of it. The fields are absolutely awesome. It's an experience I'm so glad my son got to experience and I got to coach at. Everything was immaculate. Very clean. The staff was phenomenal. Couldn't have been any more helpful. The onsite photography company, Glossy Finish, was on their game. They got action shots of my son that I could never get. So why only 3 stars??? Before the tournament, we had a coach's meeting. At the meeting, we have the head umpire go over everything and tell us how "approachable" the umpires are and that they're "AAA" umpires. Ok. Great. Now in my 25 years of coaching, I may have had 3 arguments with an umpire. My goal is to get these players ready for HS. We had 2 catchers with us. In game 2, our other catcher started. Wound up getting very labored in the heat. We switch catchers during the inning to get him some rest. He leads off when we get up. I notice when he gets to first, he's breathing EXTREMELY heavy. I ask for time and ask to speak to the umpires. The plate umpire responds "What's the issue?" I was like. The kid has heat exhaustion and his hyperventilating. Can we get a medic. He actually says... "You need to discuss that with your coach. " I responded, "Don't you work here? How would he know how to get a medic here??? Can we get someone here before this kid passes out?" The whole time, the field umpire could care less and didn't even take a step towards the poor kid to see what his condition was. Ultimately, he got medical attention, but these 2 guys, 1 of which we wound up having almost every game, were the most unapproachable human beings I've ever met. Even the other team commented to me, "What was that about?" I'm still confused. The rest of the week went fine, I knew what kind of person I was dealing with officiating wise and just went about our business. All in all, a great facility to play baseball.

We did Cooperstown last year and compared both Ripken experiences to each other. This location at…read moreMyrtle Beach is by far our favorite travel ball tourney as there was so much to do! Our boy played in the beach blast baseball tournament during the week of 6/16 and this facility has it all. Plenty of baseball fields with turf and batting cages galore. The food options were all around decent with snacks and hot food to choose from. The price points were impressively economical as well. Be sure to pick up your souvenirs at the gift shop and don't miss Chik-fil-A pop up shop if hungry. The staff did amazing as they played great music at the fields and tactfully announced the walk up for each kid giving it a big ballpark feel. We saw turtles in the water basins as well. Plenty of parking and is close to a lot of food and entertainment in the area. They also have a live stream video link to allow folks who could not make it, a chance to watch live or go and save highlights later for an additional cost. You cannot bring a camera yourself to live stream fyi. The paid photo package includes a live photographer capturing some amazing photos of your athletes to digitally download. Be sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray. They allow coolers (no alcohol), chairs and umbrellas. They sell alcohol at the carts or food grille. It was hot and humid but well worth the experience and price point for the tournament was surprisingly less than Cooperstown which was a win! Take me out to the ballgame! Thanks Myrtle Beach Ripken Experience for an amazing week! PXF Arizona

Checking off another ball park!…read more Nice small ball park! We came 09/09/2025 for a 7:10pm game. Perfect cool weather. The bat dog was super cool! Great concession options!

Very clean and well maintained facility. The people from the ticket window, to the gate, to the mascots, to the attendants that bring around bags for trash/recycling (brilliant - wish other ballparks would do this) were so incredibly helpful and friendly. The people make this a terrific experience. You feel so welcomed and are thanked numerous times for coming. There are beaches and regular stadium seats. There's also suites available there are 2 covered areas which are awesome. Wish they had industrial fans up on the poles (high enough up to not block views - so doable) to help with the heat. Lots of refreshments and options for snacks/foods. Very reasonable prices and food is good quality. Had hot dog and popcorn (it was fresh). They do have. Bat beer container for $25 (see pic). Ticket prices are absolutely reasonable for the game! Great way to have a family night out without breaking the bank or even an adult/date night. They do a great job entertaining the crowd and keeping them engaged.

This is located behind the Myrtle Beach convention Center, and according to the ticket agent in the parking lot, it is also merged with it, meaning that some events can also be in this sports center. There is a $5.00 parking fee, all day. it is walkable and easy to get around. There was no admission fee for this event, which is good. Basically we walked around a gym, but it made room for tons of art and craft vendors-- and i even brought an ornament for my new tree! Plenty of room to walk around and for vendors. Also went to the restroom, which was clean, and easy to find in correlation to where the arts and crafts were. We also saw tons of bleachers, and volleyball nets in the other gym while we were looking for the bathrooms- so they have mostly sporting events here i would guess. Would definitely be back soon for another event!

This leads to teams playing up two age groups or down two age groups. It also leads to local teams pulling out at the last minute and stiffing the teams that travel to small unworthy tournaments. The event places never open on time and this causes delays throughout the day. Today in Myrtle Beach, they had a facility with eight courts but only used two and dragged the tournament on for over 12 hours when it could have been completed in six. They had sections reserved for college scouts but not a single one showed! And this is their biggest bragging point!
