Over 100,000 individuals per year visit this facility. Hcc's summerball program includes baseball and softball for youth ages 4 through 16. This program has existed at hcc for 60 years. Last year approximately 500 children participated in the program. Hcc utilizes volunteers as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and concession helpers. The program operates from may to august.
