But from what we could see from the parking lot it looked pretty cool: baseball diamond, picnic benches, BBQ set up, etc. What kid wouldn't be stoked to have this in their backyard!? It straddles Garland Ranch and Carmel Valley so it's a totally gorgeous area. It's just more of a neighborhood/local youth little league field than a place to hike.

They also gave us ample time before and after our paid rental hours so we could set up and clean up. I highly recommend this facility for your next indoor sports themed party! I am sure their sports activities/leagues offered are also great!!

So many thoughts... My relation to Yosemite Valley began…read moreabout 64 years ago. In the Cub Scouts, I think. Ralph John loaded a squad of loud, wiggling, excited boys into his blue Plymouth station wagon for the 250 mile drive from Sylmar to Yosemite. No Interstate 5. Valencia was a carrot field, Magic Mountain an oak studded pasture for the Newhall Family cattle operation. Thank you Ralph, thank you Lord Baden-Powell. My most memorable trip, my intro to modern tourism, was when Ted Germomd and I took two days of November Coast Guard Liberty from the USCGC Blackhaw, drove from San Francisco one November afternoon, arrived at night, pitched camp.in the center of Yosemite Valley, covered our sleeping bags with a tarp, woke at dawn under that frost-crusted tarp. We threw that crunching canvas off, shook off rhe frost, and threw our gear into Ted's Land Cruiser. He took one photo of the valley. We drove back to San Francisco, a handful of photos proving the journey. Aside from my tourism, I have known members of the Southern Sierra Miwok Tribe, keepers of Yosemite Valley and the surrounding area for millennia until gold miners, livestock grazers and the U.S. Government arrived. Priscilla and her husband built a very successful real estate enterprise in Oakhurst, deciding their children needed a better education in a bigger city. I got to know Priscilla through her daughters, was accepted by the family, caring for the sons and meeting The Matriarch, another very sucessful real estate entrepreneur in Southern California. Never a word, never a peep, nrver a hint the female side of the family were Native American Indigenous people until I was much older. Too much shame. So much taken from the Guardians of Yosemite Valley. May 22, 2026. The Friday of Memorial Day weekend. A perfect set of days to stay away from 21st century Yosemite. We knew this. I chose to cross Yosemite returning home to Phoenix. As our trip home from Coastal Washington began jelling, I checked several times to see if California 120 over Tioga Pass was clear of snow. At first, Tioga Pass was closed, then announced open for the start of The Season, 2026. We breakfasted light at the Angel's Camp Best Western, started early, entered the park with very short lines and rolled for Tioga Pass. We did not enter the valley. Tourist aspects are so slick, capitalized and bussed, we did not choose to deviate from Cal 120. There are many burned areas from recent fires. Fear not! Intrepid sightseer. With Miwok vegetation management ending in the 19th century, and the Gifford Pinchot ethos of 1912 finally modifying, expect immense burned areas in the Sierra Nevada. Prescribed fire was brought back to The Valley by Harold Biswell in the 1960's, carried strongly in the 1990's and 2000's. Many notable and positive changes are visible in forest ecosystems where fire has been laid down in moderate temperatures and humidities. I note one thing as I close. The turnouts dor the first paved roads to this region were chosen for their breath taking vistas. The forests have grown as forests do. We the tourists.in our climate-controlled, musically diverse, internet-connected pods see only tree trunks these days. Bring Back the ancient and 20th Century Vistas! Yes Park Service, a few trees must go. But, my wife and I stopped near a deck of Incense Cedar logs at one turnout and got a view worth more than Xanterra's cash flow. We need those vistas - to honor the Miwok, and their cathedral; the vision of Frederick Law Olmstead and the National Park Service's first Landscape Architects. Most of all, we members of Our Family Human, traveling here from across our planet need those humbling, magnificent, Creator-realizing views to be properly set in our place. To understand our puny, self important sparks in time and space mean nothing at all to geology, nature, and the endless seasons. We can only take care of our beautiful world. Said the Southern Sierra Miwok.

There are many big and established grown trees providing lots of shade. This park is great for sports and outdoor activities because of the open space. There was no trash on the floor and the park is pretty well kept.

Bathrooms are too small for these large tournaments or league play and dirty and always smell, never enough employees at the snack bar. The fields need to be releveled, the added field in the back needs shade trees and all the bleachers need the shade cloth replaced or corrugated metal on top. The back field pitching mound needs to be filled in and remove ALL the rocks. The snack shack building has broken tiles, and the floors inside are gross. For the amount you are charging teams to play in tournaments, the teams in leagues and entrance fees I would expect to see a lot more updated amenities at this complex.
