Advertising Opportunities Each year Providence City has allowed advertising banners to be placed on the ball fields at Zollinger Park. This is a great way for local businesses to promote their company and support Providence Recreation. We offer you the chance to promote for a full season, which generally runs from April through October. Options are: Large Baseball Diamond 10 x6 $300 Little League Baseball Diamond 8 x3 $200 Soccer Field 8 x3 $200 Pony Field Providence City Baseball The Large Baseball Diamond is home to the Providence Wolverines. They are part of the Northern Utah Baseball League and play approximately 20 home games during the summer months. The Large Diamond is also used by the USU Aggie Club Baseball Team and competitive Super League teams for game and tournament play. The Little League Diamond and Pony Field is used by the Rocky Mountain School of Baseball for competitive play. Providence recreation teams, which includes a Pony League, also play daily. The Soccer field draws large crowds to watch both recreational and competitive teams play. This field provides a great advertising alternative that is separate from the baseball scene.
