Overview
Almost all public baseball fields in Seattle are part of the park system managed by Seattle Parks and Recreation. Fields range from simple grass diamonds with backstops to newer synthetic turf fields with lights, dugouts, and scoreboards.
Most fields require a paid reservation, though a handful are part of the drop-in program with free hours for small groups. Synthetic turf fields at Hiawatha and Jefferson Park are the most reliable year-round. The map below shows all documented public fields across Seattle.

Tips for Seattle Baseball Fields
Most Seattle Parks baseball fields require a paid reservation. A small number are part of the drop-in program with free hours, including Miller, Walt Hundley, Lower Woodland, and a few others.
Synthetic turf fields at Hiawatha and Jefferson Park hold up best during Seattle's rainy season. Grass infields can become muddy and may be temporarily closed for maintenance in winter and spring.
Jefferson Park and Woodland Park Playfield #1 have lit fields for evening play.
Ross Park's upper field is not listed on the Parks reservation site and is generally available for drop-in play. The lower field requires a reservation.
Many fields share outfield space with soccer fields. In fall and winter, soccer goals may be set up across the outfield. Expect seasonal variation in field setup.
Woodland Park Playfield #1 is fully fenced and gates are locked when not in use — it's not available for drop-in play. The adjacent Playfields #3–#6 are open during designated drop-in hours.
