Ever dreamed of aiming for the fences at Fenway Park, Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium? While the reality of that is pretty slim for most of us, Las Vegans now can come close to the real thing.
The Big League Dreams Sports Park at Freedom Park features scaled-down replicas of six famous major league stadiums, including Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium and Crosley Field.
The 35-acre complex also includes eight batting cages (four for softball and four for baseball), two sports-themed restaurants, an indoor soccer facility and an area for picnics and private parties.
The FieldTurf-covered fields, located at 3151 E. Washington Ave., are used primarily by youth baseball, adult slow-pitch softball and girls fast-pitch softball leagues, but the public is also welcome to use them when they are vacant.
Las Vegas is the 10th Big League Dreams location to be developed since 1997. For more information, call 642-4448 or go to bigleaguedreams.com.k
