Andy Bilesky Little League Park was opened in 1980 in honor of Andy Bilesky.

This natural mountain park setting is a beautiful setting for Trail's little league baseball facility. Two regulation size little league fields and training facilities create a natural family atmosphere for young baseball fans.

In 2011 a new scoreboard was also installed.

Host of the 2005 Pacific Northwest Cal Ripken Regional Baseball Championships, and home to the 1990 Little League World Series team that featured a young Jason Bay, Trail's deep baseball heritage and excellent facilities have been raising little baseball champions for decades.

Portable bleacher seating is available for up to 3,000 spectators. Regularly however a naturally sloping grass amphitheater provides a picnic park style seating for games.
