The Melbourne Ballpark is home to Baseball and Softball in Victoria, Australia. It was built in 1990, with a seating capacity of about 5000, although in recent years seats along the base lines have been removed and replaced with standing room area leaving the only seating in the main grandstand.
The Melbourne Ballpark has hosted many Baseball and Softball events, It was home to the Melbourne Monarchs and for a short time the Melbourne Bushrangers in the former Australian Baseball League, and in recent years the Claxton Shield as part of the International Baseball League of Australia. The Ballpark has hosted Australian Softball National Championships since its opening in 1990, and most recently hosted the Commonwealth Softball Championships between New Zealand, Australia, Samoa and South Africa.
