What was supposed to be a one-week filler field, the Garage has quickly evolved into one of the most well-known ballparks in all of ORWBL. Opened in 2016, this backyard field has become notorious for summer pick-up games for young players all throughout the league.

​

The Garage opened for action in Week 2 of the 2016 season. On a day plagued by low-scoring affairs, the Mechanics and Yabos scored a combined 136 runs in three games. After those high-scoring affairs Olive was hooked and The Garage was officially an ORWBL ballpark.

​

If the Garage is known for one thing, it has to be the wind. Thanks to the unique set-up of the backyard, high winds come funneling in right over home plate. Visiting team beware, Sunday Wiffleball at the Garage is an all-day affair, with 1 pm games often lasting until dinnertime.

​

Despite the high-scoring games, the Garage is no mini-field. With relatively deep fences and a wide field, the Garage is the perfect example of why ORWBL utilizes three outfielders. 

​

As if the wind wasn't bad enough for a pitcher's ERA, the wide park is always well-kept and the grass freshly cut short. Grounds ball notoriously come in faster than usual, meaning visiting teams need to adjust quickly to the unique conditions.

​

With the 2022 season, The Garage will have played home to three ORWBL franchises: Mechanics (2016-17, 2019); Kings (2020-21); and Wiffle Dees (2022).
