Mistlin Sports Park tournament guide

Field surface: Turf infield, grass outfield

Turf infields with grass outfields. TPR Baseball, which runs most of the tournaments here, says all fields at Mistlin are artificial turf, with new turf on Fields 1–4 in summer 2020 and on the Giant and Yankee fields in January 2018. Its park rules also ban digging in the outfield grass, so the outfields are natural grass. The Manteca Bulletin reported the four softball fields were built with artificial-turf infields. (Six lighted fields: four 300-foot softball/youth fields (Fields 1–4) plus the larger Giant and Yankee baseball fields (TPR Baseball; Manteca Bulletin).)
