Softball's home field is located at the corner of University Drive and Park Avenue opposite Jeffrey Field which is home to Penn State soccer and lacrosse.

The field is grass and is surrounded by fencing. The distance from home plate to the fence is 210 feet.

Recent improvements include the installation of a 10-foot warning track, lights, a new scoreboard, dugouts, bleachers, a press box and a new sound system.

The softball team moved to its current location in 1974 taking over a site formerly used by Penn State's freshman baseball team.

Softball had competed on a field at the intersection of North University Drive and the Services Road where rugby fields now are located.

The program's original home was a central campus site on the lawn in back of the Hetzel Union Building.
