Venues - J. David Walker Field at Legacy Park : Baseball
 
QUICK LINKS
HISTORY
The newly constructed Legacy Park was built in 2015 on Lehigh University’s Goodman Campus. This new venue was named to honor the long baseball history at Lehigh and its baseball alumni and friends who help support the program.  The grass infield was transformed to a synthetic-turf infield and the natural grass outfield remained. Larger, enhanced dugouts were constructed along with improved batting cages and pitching bullpens.  A modern bleacher structure was also constructed and sits just below a new press box and upgraded sound system.  All new fencing and signage were installed surrounding the complex which has quickly become one of the best in the Patriot League.

In 2017, Legacy Park was renamed J. David Walker Field at Legacy Park. Along with a new name, the complex will undergo improvements to both the functional use of the field and the aesthetics of the facility to improve the overall experience of playing and viewing a game at the complex. The naming and latest improvements to the facility have been made possible due to the significant contributions of Dr. Neal and Dr. Jim Walker. Neal is a Lehigh alumnus and both brothers grew up as childhood friends of Lehigh baseball head coach Sean Leary. Their father, Dr. J. David Walker, was a highly respected engineering professor at Lehigh University. After his passing, the Walkers felt compelled to recognize their father for his contributions to Lehigh and decided to do so by naming the baseball field in his honor.
