The Morley Eagles Baseball Club is now enjoying a brand-new practice facility at Crimea Park, funded by the City of Bayswater, the Morley Eagles, and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

The $244,000 upgrade replaces the old practice nets with a modern training facility to support the club’s growing membership.

The new facility features four batting lanes, a storage area and is designed to accommodate a future roof addition, enabling year-round training in any weather. The construction features a concrete slab, chain mesh fencing, synthetic turf and soft netting, improving both safety and functionality for players and the broader community.

The project was funded through contributions from the City, the Morley Eagles Baseball Club, and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.

This follows the club’s recent upgrade to gender inclusive changeroom facilities in September 2024, which have been a home run for the local baseball club.

The City is proud to continue to support local sporting clubs by investing in infrastructure that promotes active, healthy and inclusive communities.
