Our 2008 regular season has ended. The A-Angels were the regular season winners, while the Orioles took first place in the A tournament. The Pirates won the AA season. The AAA season was won with the Mudcats, with the tournament winner being the Muckdogs. The Pirates won the Majors Season and the San Mateo City Championship, with the Dodgers coming in 2nd place.
Finding parking around Trinta Park could be a little more difficult from now on. Caltrain crews have installed fencing along the right of way just south of the Hayward Park station. This is part of a multi-year project begun last year to fence one side of the entire Caltrain right of way between San Francisco and San Jose to make the tracks safer. It's very dangerous for people to cross anywhere except designated crossings, and the agency is using the fencing to try to prevent people from being on the tracks where they're not supposed to be. Because of this, however, a large section of land just south of our diamonds is no longer available for parking. If you are visiting Trinta Park on a busy day, you may want to allow yourself more time to find parking. Parking may be easiest on 19th Avenue, Palm and Leslie Street or the Hayward Park Caltrain Lot or Pacific Blvd, where you can use the overhead pedestrian walkway, or the walkway through the train station.
Please remember that we are adjacent to a residential area and be mindful of our neighbors. See this picture for more details. The area highlighted in red is no longer available for parking.
