We purchased enough tokens so each boy could go 6 times. Halfway through 4 other kids showed up and cut in line. This interrupted their practice and was frustrating. If they had more machines that offered slow pitch and softball pitch this would ease the problem. Or they should post rules indicating a time limit in the event of a line, or so many tokens per client before you need to let someone else have a turn.

The last time I visited, the ballpark was under construction. That was a while ago, so I thought…read moreI'd play a little hooky from work, and take in a day game on a semi-warm Spring afternoon. I'm happy to say, the field is in good shape and Loyola Park is a great place to watch a ballgame. If you're wanting an up close view, there's a small grandstand of bleachers directly behind home plate, in between the dugouts. I like sitting on the hill that begins behind home plate and flows down the line behind the first base dugout. Judging by my fellow fans, it's a pretty popular space. Feel free to bring your own fold out chair or blanket. You can see most of the field and you're also close enough to hear the infield chatter. A small concession stand is available. Bathrooms are located underneath the grand stands. The playing field is natural grass and dirt with mostly symmetrical outfield dimensions.

It's a great large park with a large castle like plastic playground so the kids can play princess and knight. There's another smaller playground for younger toddlers who are just mastering stepping up and sliding down. There are a few swings, a small rock climbing boulder that wouldn't do much damage if a kid fell off, and a picnic area, where my friend and I sat in the shade while the kids played. There was a camp there also, and all the kids were sitting and listening to a police K9 demo. Not far away there's a water park/swimming pool. Overall, this is a great place for kids to come and wear themselves out! I really like it and it's so adorable!

(4th review of 2022)…read more Wifey & I love this park! It's wide open & paved trails around the lake. People that frequent the park are nice. We laugh every time we go there when it's freezing cause we see all the rocks scattered on the top of the ice on the lake. I guess people try to toss rocks on the frozen lake to find out how big & how far they can toss the rock. Hahaha. I'm kinda tempted to try that the next time. They do have an area by the entrance of the parking lot where you can pile up real Christmas trees after the holidays. Not sure what they do with them afterwards, but it's cool that they have a drop off area. When we dropped off our 2.5' tree there was at least a 5' high & 15' wide pile. I was laughing cause our dinky lil tree was so manini (small) compared to the others that were about 6-8' tall. Aside from the trails & Christmas tree drop off, this is a perfect parking lot to learn to drive in snow... as I found out the hard way. Hehehe... nervous giggling. Never driven in snow before & it's waaay different that driving on rain soaked roads. Well, hope to get back to the beautiful park soon. A Hui Hou!!

POGO PASS REVIEW: I must admit, we don't frequent D-BAT, but…read morewe had fun since they added it to the pogo pass! You get to visit twice on the pogo pass, but each time you get 10 credits, each for 15 pitches. So you can hit the ball 150 times each time. For a newbie, I felt like that was a lot! Because there were a lot of kids participating today, we had about 20 minute wait times between turns (you can only use 2 credits at a time before rotating out). It would be way better when it's less busy. They do have bats and helmets to use. And just know: you have to clean up your own balls at the completion of your turn, and reload the pitching machines accordingly. Wasn't hard though! What a great option for a rainy or super hot day!
