Welcome to Bancroft Memorial Ballpark

 

Step into a piece of baseball history at Bancroft Memorial Ballpark, the proud home of the North Union High School Baseball Team. Since its founding in 1881, the City of Bancroft has been a cornerstone of baseball excellence, cultivating a rich legacy of high school state championship teams. This very community nurtured the talents of Major League All-Star Denis Menke, who graced the field in the 1960s, and Joe Hatten, a Major Leaguer who famously played alongside Jackie Robinson.

Our ballpark is more than just a field; it's a premier facility designed for both players and fans. You'll find a spacious main grandstand and bleachers with comfortable seating for up to 1,300 spectators, a fully equipped press box, and state-of-the-art floodlights for evening games. We're committed to continuous improvement, with recent upgrades including new tiling in the outfield, an advanced irrigation system for the infield, and enhanced safety barriers in the dugouts. Thanks to a collaborative community effort, we also boast a brand-new scoreboard. The City of Bancroft takes immense pride in this heritage, continually investing in our facilities to ensure a top-tier experience for all.
