As far as I know, that is the only one in the city.

There used to be an indoor one in a warehouse just north of Memorial Drive along Barlow. They closed down a few years back because the building is now occupied by a liquidation world or something like that..

one big cage with 3-4 stalls for each of the following
slow pitch softball (underhand lobs)
fast pitch softball (~60mph)
fast pitch baseball (~60mph)
and 1 or 2 for 80-90mph baseball, those are a bitch to try and hit

Oh and fyi anything more than slow pitch you need to wear a batting helmet, but they have free loaners for you to use. You probably want to bring your own bat too, i'm sure they have loaners for that, but they probably charge for you to use them. I've never inquired so I wouldn't know for sure if there is a charge or not.
Here is there info:

The Cage Batting Range
4710 13 Avenue NW
Calgary, AB T3B 1H9

(403) 288-2277

Thanks for the info :thumbsup: . Just gave them a call to check dates and what not:

1 token = 20 pitches

1 token = $4
5 tokens = $3 each
10 tokens = $2.5 each

7 cages with various setups

All equipment, including helmets and bats + GST is included in the prices.

The Bad: This Sunday is the last day for the season, 3 days left. Opens again in April.

Necro Bump!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything in the South end of Calgary. I thought there was supposed to be something in the Dewinton area (outskirts of Okotoks, near the Dawgs facility) but I can't find anything online.

Help???
