Overview

The softball team practices and plays all home games at West Field. The field is the centerpiece of William W. Knight Memorial Park which received nearly $6 million worth of renovations. The 116,000 square feet of slit-film synthetic turf results in a year-round play system that is not dependent on the weather.

West Field was the home field of the Homestead Grays of the Negro League in the late 1930s and early '40s. Josh Gibson, who is regarded as one of the best Negro League baseball players of all time, played at West Field. The renovations were made possible by the generosity of Homestead local William V. Campbell Jr., the former CEO of Intuit Inc. who provided funding through the Campbell Educational and Community Foundation.
