Facilities

Athletic & Wellness Center
The Lake Erie College Athletic & Wellness Center opened August 23, 2004. The $9.5 million complex was built to accomodate the growing Storm athletic department, which as of the 2007-08 academic year, will feature 13 varsity teams and one club team.

The facility houses two full-size gymnasiums, with the main gym - known as Athletic Center Arena - serving as home to the basketball and volleyball teams with a seating capacity of 750.

A 4,000-square foot fitness center, that includes a weight room, aerobics area and suspended running track is used for training and is available to all Lake Erie College students.Indoor baseball and softball training takes place in the center's multi-purpose gymnasium that has a tartan-surfaced floor, full-size batting cage and indoor pitching mounds.

Also included within the complex are a classroom/meeting room, 10 locker rooms of various sizes and offices for the athletic department staff.

Parking is available both in front and behind the facility which is located on the corner of Gillett Street and Walnut Avenue.

 


Slattery Field

The Storm softball and soccer teams call Jack Slattery Field home. Located just behind the Athletic & Wellness Center, the softball field and soccer field share a centrally located score board and bleacher area. The residence halls are the backdrop to both fields with a smaller soccer practice area located nearest to the indoor athletic complex.

Parking is available next to the softball field and behind the service garage which is located off of Walnut Avenue.


Recreation Park

The Painesville Kiwanis Recreation Park, located in downtown Painesville just off of Main Street, is the home of the Lake Erie College baseball and football teams. The Storm baseball team plays at Braggs Field, which is also the home field of nearby Harvey High School.

The field is maintained by the City of Painesville and both Lake Erie and Harvey have worked together to add to the facility's amenities. The baseball field is just one part of the major park and athletic complex that includes a variety of sports fields. The scenic Grand River flows just beyond the right field fence. Teams use the batting cages located within the football stadium.

The Storm football team plays at Jack Britt Memorial Field, which is also the home of the Harvey High School football team. Both institutions have partnered with the City of Painesville to update the stadium.Renovations scheduled to be completed before the end of the 2008 calendar year include $100,000 worth of updated locker room and training facilities by the College and an updated press box, paved parking area and updated restroom facilities completed by the City.The School District will be responsible for preparing, maintaining, lining and dressing the practice field and the stadium field in addition to providing general maintenance and repairs.


Classic Park

The 2006-07 year was the fourth consecutive season the Storm baseball team utilized Classic Park for several home games. The five-year old minor league stadium located in Eastlake is home to the Lake County Captains of the Class A South Atlantic League. The ballpark combines nostalgic charm with the amenities of a modern sports facility. Classic Park has more than 7,000 permanent seats, plus 20 luxury suites on the upper deck and lawn seating beyond the right field wall. The playing surface at Classic Park was voted as the best in the SAL in 2003 and 2004. The facility also houses a 4,000-square foot indoor batting facility with two full-sized batting cages.

Fowler's Mill

Located in Chesterland, just 30 miles east of downtown Cleveland, the Lake, River and Maple nines comprise 27 of the finest public golf holes in Ohio. In addition to having hosted several U.S. Open Qualifiers, Fowler's Mill has been ranked as Ohio's Top Rated Public Golf Course by Golf Magazine and received a 4-star rating from Golf Digest. With its wide array of amenities, the course has been recognized by every popular publication in recent years as one of the best public golf facilities in the country. In 2003, Fowler's Mill underwent a $500,000 renovation to improve what is already a simply fantastic design.
