Trinity's softball field is located directly behind the [[long_walk|main quad]] (in the direction of Broad Street). The natural-grass field was completed in spring 2017, and measures 200' to right and left field and 220' in center field. Irrigation systems are in place under the grass to allow for all-weather playing and a consistent playing surface. The hitting cages that were constructed at the same time also feature all-weather friendly synthetic surfaces. New dugouts, netting, and chainlink fencing were also installed during the field's construction.

The construction was part of the larger $6.2 million "Fields of Excellence" project, which advocated for and funded the building of many new Trinity [[athletics|athletic]] fields, including the [[trinity_soccer_field|Trinity Soccer Field]], [[jessee_miller_football_field_and_track|Jessee/Miller Field]], and a new baseball field. At the opening of the softball and baseball fields on April 1, 2017, a ceremony was held in [[mather_hall|Mather Hall]] to honor the donors who financially supported Fields of Excellence.
