Vineyard Baseball Park

Managed by the Vineyard Baseball INC

The creation of a second full size baseball diamond on Martha’s Vineyard had been conceptualized back in 2001. Thanks to the year-round volunteer efforts by the Vineyard Baseball Park Project Committee, our Field of Dreams is becoming a reality. The continual development of youth baseball on the island is dependent upon the efforts of these volunteers. The VBPP has fundraised and received enough donated labor and materials to oversee construction of a major league size baseball field complete with fencing & irrigation. It is now time for phase two of the project:

Creating a baseball facility

Our wish list includes the following items:

The Vineyard Baseball Park Project was created under Vineyard Baseball, INC. a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves all levels of baseball on Martha’s Vineyard.
