Packing notes

We haven't confirmed whether the infields are dirt or turf, so pack footwear for both.
The diamonds are lighted, so night games are possible. Pack a layer, because evenings by Utah Lake cool off fast.
Bring chairs, a pop-up canopy and sunscreen. The park has grandstands, restrooms, a playground and a snack bar during games.
