SF Giants Player Development Center Opens at Papago Park

The new San Francisco Giants Player Development Center at Papago Park in Phoenix allows the team to prepare players and coaches for both the minor and major league seasons.  

The 33-acre site includes six outdoor practice fields, an agility field and covered exterior pitching lanes, a main clubhouse, an indoor practice facility with eight indoor batting lanes and a new field maintenance building. The complex was designed by Populous and built by Okland, with site and field contractor Frontier Golf and landscape architect iN2iT among the other consultants. 

The 50,000-sq-ft clubhouse has five player locker rooms, locker rooms for coaches, a weight room, player training space and hydrotherapy on the ground floor. The center opened in February.
