Parry Field in Belmont, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, was the site of Baseball WA's first purpose-built baseball stadium, named for Kevin Parry, a local businessman and enthusiast whose fortunes failed soon after the opening. The stadium featured television-standard lighting, seating for about 2,200 people and standing room for 3,000 more. The stadium was demolished by the City of Belmont as part of the WA Building Better Cities Program. Councillors were influenced by complaints from local residents about fireworks, loud music and other pre-match festivities. On the other hand, baseball being far from a mainstream sport in Australia, its managers had been unable to recoup the stadium's high maintenance costs on a year-round basis.
