One of the more unusual spaces on CageList, this indoor batting cage in Woodinville, WA is Pacific Batting Lanes, a state-of-the-art indoor center built for both baseball and cricket, with natural-turf lanes and a claim to being the first of its kind indoors.

The cage

The lanes run 90 feet long, 12 wide, and 14 tall, with newly built natural-turf lanes, as the facility notes, "12 feet wide lanes with new built out, natural turf lanes for first time in an indoor center." It's stocked with baseballs and softballs, a baseball pitching machine, an L-screen, and a hitting tee, with room for infield work. Sessions run $45/hour with five guests included, and a bathroom, parking, and lighting are on site.

Who it's for

The dual baseball-and-cricket setup makes this a rare find, a fit for ballplayers wanting machine and tee work and for cricket players looking for indoor lanes. It's built for individual hitters, teams on a long-term basis, and even team events or corporate bookings. The 90-foot lanes give real length for both sports, and the natural turf underfoot is a step up from the mats most indoor cages run.

The host

Pacific Batting Lanes (PBL) states its mission plainly: "to provide an unparalleled, world-class experience with 24/7 access for all sports enthusiasts, whether you swing a bat or wield a cricket paddle." Whether you prefer "the crack of a baseball bat or the sweet sound of a cricket ball hitting the stumps," the facility is set up to cover it.

Good to know

It's fully indoor, so the Pacific Northwest weather never interferes, with parking, lighting, and restroom access on site. The natural-turf lanes are the standout detail, a genuinely different feel from standard netting-and-mat cages. House rules keep it clean: no pets, seeds, food, gum, cleats, loud music, or smoking.
