- Check whether your games are on the softball fields or the baseball fields (pony league, little league or Blue Sox) before you park. A tournament listing notes bathrooms, concessions and lights at the fields (TourneyMachine), but bring water and snacks anyway.
- Bring chairs, a pop-up canopy and sunscreen, plus a warm layer for cool Cache Valley mornings and evenings. The playground, trails and disc golf course help with siblings.
