First-base entrance to Cubs Park, Jul-2014. |

Most of the park is idle during an Arizona rookie league game. |

The park is convenient to motorists, located near the intersection of the Loop 101 and Loop 202 freeways. (There is no exit for Rio Salado Parkway off Loop 101 northbound; take Loop 202 east for one exit to Dobson Road and double back.)
Initially, I did not have a full review of the park, as I attended an Arizona League game here after watching a Major League game in Phoenix earlier in the day. That meant there was no public address announcement and no video board; only the line score portion of the scoreboard was operating. This is standard procedure for the complex-based rookie leagues. I did see an Arizona Fall League game later in the season, but even there the only enhancement was a public address announcer and a single concession stand.
A partnership with Sloan Valve Co. effective in January 2015 changed the name of the park as shown on the Wrigley-style marquee seen at right.
