The Field House Batting Cages

The Field House Batting Cages in Pakuranga gives families a proper crack at baseball and softball without needing to own a single piece of kit. Six spacious lanes come equipped with pitching machines, bats, and helmets, and radar guns measure pitching speed on the spot — something that tends to spark fierce sibling rivalry.

Pricing is per lane rather than per head, so a group of up to four can share a session, making it reasonable for a family outing. Lanes can be extended in 30-minute increments once everyone finds their swing.

For birthdays, the full facility can be hired out for a two-hour party that includes a dedicated eating and social area with room for decorations and BYO food. Walk-ins are welcome, though booking ahead is the safer bet, especially on weekends.
