Nitchkey Field & Bowers Pavilion

 316 West Avenue, Red Lion, PA 17356

Red Lion Recreation has built its own baseball/softball training building, called the Bowers Pavilion, using funds generously donated several years ago from the estate of Dorothy Bowers. The Pavilion is located at Nitchkey Field and serves multiple purposes for the community, including:

• Indoor (Winter) baseball & softball batting cages
• Camps and clinics
• Open pavilion area to view ball games
• Team rental area
• Private instruction
   

The facility features three batting tunnels available for rental, plenty of practice balls, L-screens for live pitching, and a well-lit, heated environment suitable for baseball, fast-pitch softball, or slow-pitch softball.

Bowers Pavilion Rental Rates:

• $25.00 per hour for one cage
   
• $20.00 per hour for multiple cages
  Payments are accepted online for reservations. Please complete the attached rental contract when booking.
   

 Access: Entry is granted only through a code provided by the Borough/Recreation Office after payment. This code is tracked and expires after your reserved time.

The entire building is also available for other activities. During the spring, summer, and fall, the “open-air” pavilion area can be reserved for picnics or family gatherings.
