Parry Field in Belmont, Perth was the site of the Baseball WA's first purpose-built Baseball stadium. The stadium featured television standard lighting, seating for about 2200 people and standing room for 3,000 more. The stadium was sold off by Belmont City Council as part of the WA Building Better Cities Program. The councillors felt the development would be jeopardized by leaving the stadium intact. This feeling was caused by the extravagance of the first few seasons of the Australian Baseball League which saw fireworks, loud music and other pre-match festivities.
