The Rock Sports Park — Local services in Town of Chester

Awful tournament experience. Awful facility. We signed up to play a tournament at the Rock, but all of our games were schedule at the Yard--we never even saw the Rock!. The Yard has no bleachers or viewing angles. There's no shade, so you're out in the sun all day. The only money spent on the facility was to put in turf fields, but other than that, you're walking on broken concrete that's years old and gravel. The grounds aren't groomed--there are weeds everywhere--including poison ivy in the one shady spot we managed to find. They tell you that you can't bring in food, yet the only concession is a food truck that looks like the dirty water dog guy from 1975 with all of the meats in coolers--not even refrigerated or frozen! We wouldn't buy any food from the truck for fear of contamination. The bathrooms were filthy and often without toilet paper or paper towels. The woman's room smelled like a port-a-potty. There are no batting cages for your team to take BP, yet there is plenty of space to put some in. There was one small, indoor, multi-purpose room to try to get a pre-game workout in, but good luck getting into it as every team was vying for it. The short, metal fences around each field are dangerous, not to mention that for a 60/90 13U tourney, they were too short--it was like being at Cooperstown all over again. There are no working lights, and when the games ended up going into extra innings, the umpires told our kids that they were calling everything a strike to move the games along, so they'd better swing. A ball sailed over our batter's head and into the backstop, and the ump called it a strike in the name of moving the game along. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Take your kid to Baseball Heaven or Diamond Nation if you're in the tri-state area. This place should be...

Not worth the money!! You don’t actually play at the facilty for your tournaments. You play at random fields in the area that dont have a fence let alone a scoreboard or facilities. The umpires were awful. I can understand missed calls or a big strike zone or wagtever (its 13u baseball), but they couldnt even get the counts right! They even threatened to throw the head coach out for showing them BOTH teams game changers with the correct counts. Four balls…nope not a walk. The field umpire was over ruling the home plate umpire on balls and strikes?!? There were some pretty big egos on the field and wasnt the kids or coaches!! Plenty of other local places that hold tournaments for less money, better fields/facilities and hopefully umps...

Went for a baseball tournament couldn’t bring in your own drinks and food. We got food in between games and it was nasty everything was cold. Fries had way too much salt on them and way under cooked, mozzarella sticks were so cold the cheese was hard inside, and the chicken tenders were not close to being done and slimy. If this place wants the families to not bring their down drinks/ food they better step their game up because no one is going to tolerate that. we had to throw all the food away and not eat in between games because our next game wasn’t there. If we had been there I would have asked for...
