Walker Stadium, Hillsboro Stadium, and five more
The league names every ground and says who else plays there: Walker Stadium, home of the Portland Pickles; Sckavone Stadium in Portland; Hillsboro Stadium, former field of the Hops; the Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District in Beaverton; Luke Jensen Sports Park in Vancouver; Jesuit High School in Beaverton; and the Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Complex.
Putting amateur men on two professional ballparks is the strongest thing this league offers, and it also states the cost plainly: the NWIBL doesn't own fields, it rents them. It closes with an open request — if you have access to a baseball field and would like to partner with us, please get in touch. High Cheese ties the ballpark, the address and the map to the fixture itself, so a Sunday at Walker Stadium arrives with directions attached.
