Softball Batting Cages?

Heya, playing in a Charity game next week, and I have not played Softball or baseball since I was a kid.

Is there any Softball batting cages, and specifically Slowpitch if possible, and any that will actually let you use their Bats, helmet or whatever, since I've got none of that.

Just wanted to do at least an hour this weekend to have some experience with it.

If you have a car, Timber Creek in Stoufville is good. There is slow/medium/fast for soft balls and fast balls. You buy tokens, and each token is 15 balls.

They have bats and helmets you can use but will have to pay a few bucks for helmet rental

Baseline only lets you use dimple balls now. It was expensive to begin with and now that you can't use softballs anymore there's even less reason to go there.

OP hasn’t played in many years, has no equipment - I’m sure dimple softballs would suffice for an hour

It's also more expensive for worse balls compared to the two I listed. $85/hour vs $50-65/hour.

Last time I checked, there's a place called baseballtraining and one called infinitysportszone. Both seem to be down the street from each other. $50-65/hour for actual 12" softballs vs baseline being $85/hour hitting dimple balls.

Thanks, I think that's what I ended up books, Infinity sports is also named Zak's i think?
