Joe Rodgers Field

This park is right behind Blair field ! It’s easily accessible and is limited to street and neighborhood parking. I take my dog Calvin here because it is very uncrowded

I love to bring my dogs here to run around the field. There’s tons of open grass, not a lot of people, beautiful jacaranda trees (bloom in May/​June) & even picnic tables. I highly recommend Joe Rodgers Field and the surrounding park around it as I think everyone could benefit from being outside more. The sun & light breeze of a mid summer’s day vs. the computer screen of death. You get my drift! ;)

Joe Rodgers field is entrenched in local softball and baseball history for many years. The field is located right off 10^th and Park Street next to Wilson High School and Billie Jean King tennis center. It is also across the street from Blair Field which is a much larger baseball stadium as well. Joe Rodgers is where many local softball teams play their games, and it is also the home field for the Wilson High School Bruins women’s softball team.
Joe Rodgers is the site of the «Long Beach Softball Hall of Fame» and is commemorated by a gorgeous plaque near the third base bleachers. The field was well manicured and the bleachers looked to be in good condition as well. There were no bleachers in the outfield just large metal fences which looked pretty tough to hit a homerun over. While this is no Fenway Park it is a field that many locals have gotten to play on and with that there is a personal connection to this field with many Long Beach locals and visitors alike.
