Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is the first Major League Baseball Spring Training complex to be built on Native American Land. The complex was constructed of raw materials harvested from Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community soil. The 140-acre home of the Diamondbacks and Rockies not only showcases the beauty of the surrounding natural environment, but it echoes the deep reverence for the delicate desert ecosystem felt by the local community.

Being the first LEED certified facility of its kind, Salt River Fields challenges the notions of what it means to be sustainable, and reveals a surprising kinship between ancestral custom and innovation in energy efficiency.

A jewel in the Cactus League system, Salt River Fields is an extraordinary synthesis of the region’s cultural heritage and the complex’s innovative design. It has succeeded in creating a baseball destination environment that encourages unprecedented fan exposure to all, evokes feelings of beauty and wonder and fosters a sense of overall community pride through sustainability and land stewardship.
