The Northbrook Park District has six batting cages in Techny Prairie Park and Fields to provide more intensive practice for ball players and a warm-up facility for teams. All six machines pitch baseballs, and four of the machines can pitch 12” softballs. Players can choose the speed of the balls.
Reservations secure a batting cage stall and must be paid for in advance online. Walk-ups may be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis if capacity limits allow. Batters are required to bring their own bat and helmet.
Fees • $15 per 30-minute reservation (unlimited pitches); $2 per token or $10 for 6 tokens
Reservations Closed for the Season
