Coach Fisher Park & Emilie Tilley Field

On April 25, 2026 we had the honor to rename our baseball facility the
"Coach Fisher Park and Emilie Tilley Field!"
A nod to the work and tradition in and around the Cox Falcon Baseball Program.
We are grateful to the families, friends and community who gathered and who made this possible,
​and we look forward to seeing everyone at the field!

LOCKER ROOM

The "FalconBoys" have a new locker room!  
We thank everyone involved in making this vision a reality. 
A team effort from planning and fundraising to installation!
Truly an exercise in "Leave it Better than you Found It" 

CONCESSION STAND

The heart of our fan experience has been transformed in order to "serve" our fans (and our helpers) better!
Thank you to
Ecco Awning, Driskill Electrical Contractors
​ & Coastal Countertops
for their expertise and manpower! 
And thank you to ALL who made this project happen!

"THE NEST" SIDING REPLACEMENT

Years of baseballs hitting the siding, of adding and updating signs, and other improvements and repairs
have taken its toll on the exterior of our beloved "Nest."
With the recent improvements to the concession stand, the old siding finally had enough. 
Since every beloved aging beauty loves a makeover...We are excited to unveil the "New Nest!"
(The bones are still great)
​Thank you to Han-San, Inc!

RENOVATIONS -  WINTER 2023

INFIELD NETTING

In November and December we embarked on "The Netting Project."

A significant portion of the old chain-link fence down the first base and third base lines was removed and replaced with a new 3 ft. high base fence from which netting up to a height of 15 ft. was installed.

The netting would not only improve the  fan viewing  experience, but provide a much needed enhancement of spectator safety.   This safety enhancement includes better spectator protection from the first base side bull pen AND additional protection of "The Nest" windows from wayward foul balls.

At any baseball game fans must remain aware and vigilant at all times. 
Additional netting may help to deter balls from leaving the field, it does not prevent all balls from leaving the field.

This project was funded by the ongoing support of our Annual Donors and the Falcon Dugout Club.
Thank you to Netting Pros and Hercules Fence.
​We can't wait to share the viewing experience this spring!

RENOVATIONS - SUMMER 2022

INFIELD RENOVATION

In July 2022 we were able to execute a needed improvement to our infield playing surface. 

Over time, weather, use, and maintenance issues rendered an inconsistent surface, on-going puddling, and a mis-aligned pitching mound.

Through the generosity of our donors for this project, we were able to engage
Earthworks & Sprinklers, Sports Field Construction and Wright's Well and Irrigation
to execute an overhaul and re-alignment.

"Let there be Light"
​
In February 2022 we were able to improve the lighting in "The Dome." 
Existing UFO high bay lighting was replaced with
new LED Linear high bays and 4 more LED lights were installed down the center line.

​Our Thanks! to Independent Lighting and Great Neck Baseball!

FIRST BASE DUGOUT EXTENSION

With Special Thanks to this project's Anchor Donor!

We have completed the the extension behind the first base dugout.
This 5-bay garage style storage facility, with LED lighting and multiple power outlets, allows us to securely store the field equipment and other field maintenance items formerly housed in the small garage at the nest.

This will enable the team to utilize the old indoor space at the nest for players’ equipment storage, meetings, and other activities.

We are grateful to the Falcon Dugout Club for its support in our ongoing efforts to improve our Cox Falcon Baseball Facility, Tilley Field.

This dugout extension would not be possible without the following organizations and people who have contributed their time or helped the process with donated materials.  Thank you!
