The Fresno Grizzlies’ home clubhouse at Chukchansi Park underwent a major renovation in 2024, designed by Larimer Design to meet Major League Baseball’s updated facility standards for player development environments. As the Single-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, the Grizzlies now enjoy a modern, functional, and comfortable space that supports performance, team identity, and well-being.

“Our goal was to create a modern environment that supports player performance and well-being while reflecting the professionalism of today’s game,” said Tom Larimer, AIA, Principal at Larimer Design. “Each upgrade — from the new lounge to the expanded staff areas — was designed to enhance both function and team culture.”

Key Home Clubhouse Improvements:

  • New custom player lockers

  • Dedicated player lounge

  • New coaches’ locker room

  • Renovated weight room

  • MLB storage area

Key Visiting Clubhouse & Auxiliary Improvements:

  • Expanded visiting team clubhouse, dining area, and offices

  • Renovated coaches’ locker room with dedicated restroom and shower

  • Women’s locker rooms for female coaches, staff, and umpires

  • Second climate-controlled indoor batting cage

  • New concessionaire’s offices

These improvements modernize Chukchansi Park’s player development facilities, enhancing functionality, comfort, and operational efficiency for both home and visiting teams. They are part of a multi-year effort by Larimer Design and the City of Fresno to ensure Chukchansi Park complies with evolving MLB standards while providing a model environment for minor league ballparks.

Together, these upgrades position Chukchansi Park as a next-generation minor league facility—supporting players, staff, and teams while elevating the overall experience for fans and the baseball community.
