Blue Valley Recreation Complex
Overall Ranking: 9/10
The Blue Valley Rec complex is one that many in softball grow up playing at. These fields host tons of tournaments, but in recent years hasn't been as popular. This complex has two groups of four fields, along with then across the street two groups of four baseball fields. When playing tournaments at this complex it is great playing on the softball field with the appropriate distance fences. These are all dirt fields with very nice grass outfield. The fields are well kept up and majority of the time are chalked between each game. Sometimes the grounds crew will water the fields as well. With this maintenance in mind, the dirt is very thin and doesn't hold water very well. Multiple times playing at this complex games have been rained out due to this factor. The dugouts at this complex are very spacious and good for equipment to all fit in the dugout. Also plenty of space to sit down and not be crowded between innings of the game as well. There are many options for warmup space here. There is a huge field where all teams can warm up and have plenty of space. Along with small spaces between each field.
The spectators at this complex have concessions stands at the entrance along with in between each field. Along with restrooms in the same spaces. The concessions do not have anything too fancy, really the basic ball park food. The stands are pretty nice at this complex with shading above each set of bleachers. Allowing for the area to be shaded and enjoy the games. There is also picnic tables to sit at by the entrance of the fields where many stay when they have a game break.
The kids tagging along do not have much to do at this park. There is a playground across the street that could be used after the games. I would say it is too far to let kids go by themselves.
