The Pichincha Baseball Association, together with the Provincial Softball Commission, began the construction of the field in a 10,000 sq mt area to build a regulation baseball field and some complementary services.
The first phase of this project includes the removal and flattening of the land. The dugouts, dressing rooms, batting cages, bullpens, bleachers and parking lots will be built in phase two. The total cost of construction is estimated at $800,000 US dollars.
