Floodlighting is of international standard and has numerous Claxton Shield games since 1968.

Baxter Field is named in honour of Reg Baxter, OAM (1924–2014),[2] Norths (Baseball Club) and FNCBA stalwart, and a former Lismore City Council Councillor who was tireless in his support for local sport (baseball, cricket and softball) and instrumental in upgrading the facilities at Albert Park.

[3] In 2020, a $6.95 million upgrade was completed to redevelop the complex to become the Little League centre of Australia.

[4] In 2021, the Sydney Blue Sox announced they would be playing at least one home series against the Canberra Cavalry at the facility in lieu of being able to play at Blue Sox Stadium due to Blacktown falling in a COVID-19 pandemic hotspot.

It is the first Australian Baseball League games at the complex since 2012 when the Blue Sox were hosted by the geographically closer Brisbane Bandits.
