Field surface: Turf infields, outfields not stated

Turf infields. The Quincy Park District says Pepsi Field and Blessing Health System Field in Moorman Park and Avenue of Lights Field in Wavering Park have synthetic turf infields, and QTown Tournaments says its five fields here have turf infields. Neither states the outfield surface, so check your field if that matters. (5 turf fields used for tournaments (QTown Tournaments): Pepsi Field and Blessing Health System Field in Moorman Park and Avenue of Lights Field in Wavering Park, each with a synthetic turf infield (Quincy Park District), plus the two smaller Short Porch fields (155-185 ft fences) added in 2024 (QTown Tournaments).)

Packing notes

River-valley springs start cold and windy: bring layers, rain gear and blankets for early games.
Summer afternoons get hot and humid; bring a canopy or other shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
The infields are turf but the outfields aren't described, so pack turf shoes and a backup pair.
