GLHS SOFTBALL FIELD
@ the Blacklick Athletic Complex
GLHS Softball Field, home to the Gahanna Lincoln softball team since 2023, was a multimillion dollar project that brought state of the art facilities to the program. This included two fields, a pressbox, sound system, underground sprinkler system, seating, permanent restrooms, a concession stand, ample storage space, turfed bullpen areas and two batting tunnels.
GLHS Softball complex is off grounds at the Blacklick Sports Complex, a multi-million dollar project located at Blacklick Elementary which is also home to the GLHS Baseball Fields, Soccer/Lacrosse Fields including a turfed field, along with brand new tennis courts.
"We are fortunate to have one of the best facilities in the state," said Lincoln Head Coach Matt Bailey. "The field is unbelievable and holds up to various weather conditions tremendously. Teams and spectators will have a great experience at Gahanna Lincoln Softball Complex."
