Last weekend we had our games at Alden E. Oliver sports complex at Hayward, CA. Click on the picture below to see a larger picture.

This park has 4 softball fields and 2 soccer fields. There are 2 snack shacks.  One inside the softball field that you have to pay to get in and one outside the field that is accessible to soccer players.

Usually any place you pay to get in has better restrooms.  This park is no exception.  It is well taken care of by the custodians.  I would happily pay an entry fee to have decent restrooms.

Parking is a little tricky if you are driving an SUV or Minivan or a big truck, there seems to be more compact parking spots and the spots get filled fast.  But there always seems to be plenty of street parking.

The snack shack inside the field has the usual snack shack foods. Please see the picture below for the menu.

There is also a really nice play area for siblings that get bored after one inning 😉
