My boys have been playing lacrosse for seven years In that time frame they have played in a numerous amount of facilities. Of course we have travelled the state of Florida, but we have also travelled to many other states including North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Vermont. This past weekend my 13 year old played in the Raleigh Lax Fest in Ting Park, located in Holly Springs, NC. This was by far the nicest facility either of my boys have ever played at!
For a few of his games, my son played at the 1800 seat multi sport stadium with a turf field. This field is home to a collegiate baseball team and has all the amenities one would expect from a small stadium including a digital scoreboard & sound system, lighting, and bathrooms! Believe me, my boys have played at plenty of facilities where all they had were nasty Porto Potties so I appreciated the large, clean, heated, indoor bathroom! It was so nice not having to put myself on a "liquid ration" because I was afraid to use the bathroom! In The stadium also had a concession stand. My son bought a few items there, including a pulled pork sandwich which was excellent.
We were not on the baseball field all day. My son's team also played on the other beautiful pristine turf fields. I did not see them but I also understand Ting Park has eight tennis courts and two basketball courts. Thoroughly modern and comfortable facility....bar has been set! read more
