The baseball complex at the corner of Whitsett and Strathern has been serving the boys and girls of the East San Fernando communities of North Hollywood, Sun Valley, Arleta, Pacoima and Panorama City since our inception in 1962. Considered to be one of the oldest youth baseball complexes in the Valley, featuring 4 fields, grass infields, electric scoreboards, 4 batting cages, parking, snack stand
and room to grow, we have watched as over 17,000 children from all walks of life have passed through our batter's boxes. PONY is an acronym that stands for Protect Our Nations Youth. Field sizes and rules change with each new age group division. The divisions are:
Spirit - ages 3 & 4. Straight T-Ball. One base at a time. Learning the basics. Shetland - ages 5 & 6. Manuel Machine Pitch w/ Tee, if needed. 50' bases;
