Owls Field is one of the premiere baseball facilities in Pennsylvania because of its dedication to detail and playing surface. It is widely regarded as the best playing surface for amateur baseball. Following the 2006 season the infield grass was killed off and removed and the infield re-leveled. New sod was installed and the infield now has a completely different look as the first and third baselines are all grass. As of 2013, we still boast the finest facility for Pennsylvania American Legion baseball. The most original aspect of Owls Field is the elevated terraces made for "lawn chair" viewing on both the left and right side of the field. Our field is maintained by hard working volunteers who cut the grass, fertilize and operate the underground electronic irrigation system. In addition to being home to the Legion Owls, it is also the home site for Owls Jr. Legion team.
The 2013 season is off to a great start. Owls Field has already been the host site for the MAC Commonwealth Playoffs won by Avlernia University. Congratulations to our very own Chris Gehris for being a member of the 2013 MAC Commonwealth All Conference First Team. This year Owls Field will also be the host site for the Berks American Legion Playoffs (July 13 - 15) as well as the PA Jr Legional Eastern Regional (July 27 - 31).
Bring your lawn chair and enjoy a ballgame on our spectacular terraces.
