I never thought finding a normal batting cage would be so difficult, I guess I am just old. I was looking for a place for my son and I to get some batting practice in and had all but given up until I found this place. It's in Freestone Park and isn't necessarily hidden but if you don't live in the surrounding neighborhood you may not even realize it's there - I didn't (and I was looking). We have been here several times now and never had an issue. There are several cages and speeds to choose from, you can pay with coins or rent cage for a 1/2 or full hour. From what I can see the place is properly maintained and all machines are working and fairly consistent. This place is no frills but they do have plenty of loaner bats and helmets if you need them. They also have a small selection of drinks/water/Powerade etc if you need. This has become my sons favorite weekend activity so we will keep coming back. Good way to burn some time and calories and not break the bank. It's also hardly ever crowded so better than having to stand in line somewhere or deal with crowds. Looking for a good "old fashioned" batting cage in the East valley, this is your place. Cheers! read more

We actually did go back again last week, cuz it's open till 9:30pm. The guy there was pretty cool. I'm adding another star. Oh, they used to take cash, now it's card only. Just FYI. read more

Have been coming here for over a decade. Unfortunately, I fear it will never see its former glory days. It's under new management since around the end of May and it's just not the same. The former lobby where drinks and a little merch could be purchased is empty and drab. The pitches are inconsistent and some speeds were unavailable bc it needed maintenance. There are a lot of cages to go to and it feels as if the new owners don't know know ball. Sad about this one. read more

100% got waxed by the dude working there today. Charged me $35 for 30 minutes of softball slow pitch. Insanity. Looked at the prices online and not even the hour long sessions cost $35 Dishonest read more

We had the best time for a little family date night. Reasonably priced and fun date night or great for kids.

Really liked this place! Took my daughter to hit some softballs and it was exactly what we were looking for. Staff was super helpful and friendly when I asked for assistance in setting up the machine correctly. Only drawback is that it's a 2 person job. One to feed the balls into the pitching machine, and another to hit the balls. Wish there was an option if you wanted to go there solo and work on your swing. They had a nice shop in the building as well, where I picked up a pair of batting gloves. Overall I'd highly recommend these cages. read more

Great outdoor batting cages. They have baseball 40,53 & 66 MPH and softball cages. They also have a dwtached tunnel for pitching, Tee work or front toss. You can rent the tunnel, cages or $5 gets you 20 coins. 2 coins for 10 pitches. Summer hours are 5pm-930pm M-Su. Get your rips in. read more

Overall a great cage for an adult or kiddo over about 10-11yrs old of a decent height due to the fluctuation in ball delivery. I give 4stars because of this and my 9yr old constantly having a much harder time here hitting a 40-45mph fast pitch baseball vs other adjustable indoor/outdoor cages we have visited. read more

My kids play baseball for school having rip city batting cages helps him a lot to practice it's a very nice facility clean family oriented and the owner is very personable and caring read more

Nice cages, the owner and staff are really friendly and helpful. Good value for tokens vs other cages

the best i had a great time so fun thank you #strokesurviver for me 8 years it was so motivating for me .thank you

Machines are very inconsistent and are faster than what's on the sign. Not good if you want to just get some good swings.

I love this place but I wished they cleaned the balls so many bats have been dirtied. but I recommend I love this place

My work held its annual picnic at Free Stone Park. I knew the Park had rides for the younger kids but I had no idea about the batting cages. My son had a blast. Equipment like Helmets and bats are provided. I believe there were 3 different speeds of pitches. You can pay per round or do $15 for a half hour which I think is the best deal because you can keep going and going. Snacks and drinks were also sold inside in case you get thirsty. Easy low maintenance fun. There is also shade for when it gets hot outside. read more

See all

Drove 20 mins to come here in a Saturday because it says they are open and no one was there, no sign saying why they were close, no one awnsered the phone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Zero customer service. FIND A DIFFERENT CAGE read more

Staff is friendly and I love that they have the radio playing while you're batting. Just makes the experience that more fun. As others have stated, it is a bit older and it shows. Sometimes the machines get stuck or a really bad pitch is thrown, but the people who work there are quick to make any fix. Also, bring cash as they do not take credit card. Found that out the hard way. read more

My favorite place to go and relieve some stress. New management is amazing! Luis has really revamped the entire place and takes wonderful care of his customers. And they have the best deals in town! read more

The name pretty much suits it. A little worn down but I think it adds some character. If you're looking for a no frills batting experience, you got it. I gotta say the people there are always really nice, and when something gets messed up they'll always treat you right and make sure it gets taken care of. read more

Great location in Gilbert, fairly price. Good to take the family and even take a girl on a date. Have different speed for the pitch, come see Luis if he there . You will have a good experience. read more

Not the most modern or kept up place but it gets the job done. Price is great and staff was nice. They could use better bats but that have decent ones inside if you don't bring your own just need to leave drivers license. read more

4 stars, but only because it could use some cleaning up/updating. They have a variety of machines and the wait time is minimal (if any). The staff are friendly and helpful. We've only used the cages, but apparently you can get batting lessons, which is a plus. read more

We organized an event for our girls softball team to get some batting in at Rip City. First off, we get there and get ready to set up and the employee at the counter was already rude, literally immediately rude. Its a batting cage, buddy, don't like your job, work somewhere else!! We asked half way through our reservation if we could get two cages as we saw it would be beneficial for the girls and I was told, flat out, NO NO NO! We offered to pay $20 even for less time as we had already started and the cages had 4 others open - which remained open the whole time we were there. The employee said "no way because then others show up with tokens" - I asked if we could then get some tokens and the answer was "no because you already reserved a space and you can not split your group" - this doesn't make any sense what-so-ever!! It was slow and, as mentioned, the 4 other (operating) cages remained open. I dismissed this that the employee has a major chip on his shoulder because he was also arguing on his cell phone with someone saying "I just need to get this job over and get the hell out of here today" this while he was within earshot of young children. As he passed now and then to get the balls sorted in the back, he would light cigarettes directly in the path of the cages! I can not see how this employee has not been recommended to be replaced and how no one has already logged complaints! What a jerk! This place needs some serious management! Chandler and Mesa have way better, cleaner, nicer cages! read more

decent batting cages wish we could see the hit, very short cages... I did enjoy my time practice swinging, prices are great!!!!! IT IS CASH ONLY read more
