R J McInnish Sports Complex

The Fields and Sports Scene

R J McInnish Sports Complex has several baseball diamonds, with Field 11 standing out thanks to its covered grandstand (a real blessing during those scorching Texas summer days). Field 10 and others are open to the elements, so you'll want to bring your own shade if you're planning to catch a game there. The baseball fields are impressively maintained, with bleachers and covered concrete areas where you can set up your folding chairs for optimal viewing comfort. When hunger strikes, there's a concession stand that opens during games and events.

Beyond baseball, the complex branches out with soccer fields and other sporting facilities. It's a popular spot for athletic activities in Carrollton.

Taking a Break

Between cheering sessions, you can retreat to the covered picnic area with tables nestled between the restrooms and one set of fields - meant for family snack breaks or casual meals. The restrooms are kept clean, but they can get a bit crowded during tournament weekends.

Kids getting restless? The playground sits centrally among four of the fields and features a protective covering to shield little ones from any wayward foul balls. What's particularly thoughtful about its location is that parents can keep an eye on both their children and the ongoing games - no need to choose between family duty and sports enthusiasm.

A Surprising Natural Touch

In an unexpected twist for a sports complex, there's actually a fishing lake that adds a touch of nature to the athletic environment. Even more intriguing, a model ship club occasionally takes over the lake for monthly battles - it's quite the spectacle and worth checking out if your timing aligns.

What Goes On Here

The complex acts as home base for various organized sports activities, from baseball and soccer leagues to tournaments and other athletic competitions. The City of Carrollton's Parks and Recreation department keeps everything running smoothly, with grounds that remain consistently clean and well-maintained.

Know Before You Go

To keep everyone safe and happy, there are some basic rules in place: no unauthorized vehicles, no alcohol, no fireworks, and no impromptu golf practice sessions. Dog lovers can bring their four-legged friends, but they'll need to stay leashed at all times.
