Our Field Surface
One of the
things that makes our league
so special is the synthetic
rubber baseball field
surface. There are
primarily three surfaces in
use for adaptive leagues
throughout the country and
we believe our field surface
is the finest available.
We have
had many inquires regarding
the type of surface we
selected for our field.
New leagues in the process
of constructing a field can
find out more about our
surface by visiting the
DreamField Website.
