Since 2000, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has built or refurbished 44 baseball and softball fields representing a community investment of more than $10 million. With support from APS, and charitable contributions from D-backs players, the program has allowed children from across the state to play baseball and softball at quality facilities. The fields generally feature new lights, a branded electronic scoreboard, new fencing and backstops, new irrigation and new grass and dirt with additional support provided by local contractors and businesses.
The evaluation and determination of the location of each field is determined by a grant process.
