Our Club- Connare & Flood Field

Richmond Baseball Club’s facilities are located in in Ham, to the south-west of Richmond town centre and forms part of the Kew & Ham Sports Association playing fields complex.

Connare Field is Richmond Baseball Club’s primary field. Built in 2003 and named after long time club benefactor Vincent Connare, this field hosts home games for teams across the club. Connare field is also the venue for in-season mid-week practices.

Connare Field underwent a complete refurbishment in 2014 after the club was awarded a generous grant from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund.

The refurbishment allowed for a complete leveling of the playing area, the installation of a new dirt infield, a site wide automatic sprinkler system and new dugouts.

Both Connare and RBC’s second diamond Flood Field have also been fitted with new Enduro field fencing.
