Amenities include bleacher seating for 1,000 fans;[2] field lighting; an electronic scoreboard; dugouts; batting cages outside of the right field line; restrooms; and locker rooms.[citation needed] The entire playing surface was changed from natural grass to AstroTurf in 2015–16. Brown turf was installed in the infield, and green turf was installed in the outfield. The dugout surfaces were raised to field level prior to the AstroTurf installation.[3]
