Rantoul Family Sports Complex — Local services in Rantoul

Beautiful facility for baseball, soccer and football. Turf fields - flat, fast and hot. Great playground for kids that aren't playing sports and plenty of easy parking. Bathrooms close to the fields. This place really is a gem. Can't wait to come back. Happy the good folks of Rantoul made this place happen.

Edit July 2023: Another great visit to an exceptional facility. Few more side notes to consider: Heat. It is hot, hot, hot in the summer. Fans should bring pop up canopies if they have them, and plenty of water. There is zero shade for fans. Video: Thankfully, these fields have netting instead of chain link fence. If you're using gamechanger for video, though, you need a tripod. Cages: There are at least six hitting cages (maybe 8?) adjacent to the main large baseball fields. There is plenty to availability to do soft-toss or cage work. What a treat. Hope to make it back again someday.

Last thing: We took a minute to drive off the beaten path to view the remains of the massive military base that was in Rantoul since the early 1900's. It is incredible and rough all at the same time. Worth taking a look. ...

They do not take credit cards. Bring cash for the entry fee. We played Friday through Sunday for a U17 baseball tournament. It was $20 per person for a weekend pass. The fields are in great shape. All turf. They have nets covering the seating area, which is great when you have 4 fields in close proximity. They have concessions, but we didn't look at what they had. Bathrooms were right by the fields for the older kids. Plenty of parking for our tournament. There were multiple age groups playing. Most of the umps were actually decent. Only 1 was God awful which is a step up from most tournaments. Not much to do in the area. We stayed at the Holiday Inn which is right next to the fields. Worth staying there if possible. There is a Walmart nearby and a bunch of fast food places. If you have time you can drive 10 minutes to a decent sit down restaurant. Agave Mexican and ETs is where we ate....

The soccer fields at Rantoul Sports Complex are top notch Well maintained spacious and perfect for tournament play It is a great facility overall with lots of potential That said traffic can be a challenge Cars parked along the road make it really hard to see when turning in or out and it feels a bit chaotic during busy events Also coming from Bloomington it definitely feels like it is out in the middle of nowhere Still once you are there it is a great place for sports Just give yourself extra time and be...
