This is a very nice complex, with 6 fields and paved walkways between fields. The concession building is easy to access, and the covered picnic tables are great on a hot day.

There is a large, paved, parking lot with handicap spaces near the fence openings.

From a ♿️ perspective, there should be more handicap spaces, AND some of those should be wide enough for a van with a side-entry ramp (and labeled for vans). These should be at the front of the parking lot, as the handicap spaces at the opening to field 6 are on a hill, making it extremely difficult to get a wheelchair out and in of said vehicle. Sufficient signage would also be nice, as non-handicapped do not seem to think twice about parking halfway into the lined area.

I really enjoy when the girls play at this park. The bathrooms are very clean (the 2 pics are from the middle of the 2nd game on a busy night!), and well stocked. Concessions has a decent offering (standard for a ball park), but most of all they are very friendly, AND prompt.

I also love that there is covered seating (picnic tables) in at least 2 places, offering shelter from the sun (or rain) as well as a comfortable place to eat (especially good when you need to feed young kids)

What I love most about this field though, is its accessibility for wheelchairs. There are no less than 3 sets of handicapped parking spots (with enough space for vans to deploy a ramp), with 3 concrete ramps leading from the parking spots to the fields. Also, there are concrete sidewalks throughout the park, connecting the fields. I have had to push my daughter no more than about 10' or 15' on well packed sand or grass, to get her to the fence where she can see. Even with my own lower back issues, this has not been at all difficult.

In terms of consideration for the handicapped, this park gets 5 stards!!!

So since no one else around my area is having fall ball besides underwood, I went ahead and signed my son up here again. Unfortunately we are having issues once again. Although the teams aren't as rigged as they were last year, each team in our league received different schedules which makes absolutely no sense because why wouldn't they make only ONE schedule and then send the same one out to each coach. Anyways, rather than fixing the issue many of our games are being canceled last minute or the times and days are changing. The president clearly does not care. This place is just absolutely ridiculous.

This place has went down over the past few years. The teams are rigged. We unfortunately had to play here this season due to central not having enough to sign up. They skipped a draft this season, not sure why because a draft is only fair. They put ALL the best players on one team and all the average/newbies on the other. Sadly, our team doesnt stand a chance. Its pathetic. It's almost as if we are playing a travel ball team. Which wouldnt surprise me. I really advise you to sign up else where. Not to mention their bathrooms are DISGUSTING and are never stocked and the lighting is so bad you can't even see when your in the stall. Get it together Underwood.

Could use a little updating, but it's easy to find, easy to get in and out, and so much fun to watch the kids and grandkids play ball!

This place has been a huge part of who my son is today this was for last year and I'm so sad and so appreciative. If you have a child and ball , underwood is the place to have them, we tried a couple of other complexes and always came back to Underwood they not only teach ball, they teach respect and morals and sportsmanship. Thank you Underwood we're going to miss you

It's ok. The bathrooms are disgusting and its dusty, gravelly, and basically in disrepair. But, it's a ballfield, so what should we expect? Florence is much nicer.

It would be nice if the scoreboard would be used during ballgames, especially when people have to pay admission

Good place for children. When the older ones are playing ball the little ones have room to ride bikes scooters or push their bany dolls in strollers.
