The Sandlot (1993) remains a timeless favorite, a coming-of-age film that captures the freedom of childhood summers, backyard baseball games, and lifelong friendships. While the story happens in California’s San Fernando Valley during the summer of 1962, the film was shot almost entirely in Utah.
Here’s a breakdown of the real-world filming locations for The Sandlot.
All filming locations where The Sandlot was shot
1556 S 2000 E, Salt Lake City
Scotty Smalls’ journey starts at 1556 S 2000 E, Salt Lake City, where he sulks in his bedroom until his mom hits him with the iconic line, “Get into trouble. Not too much. You have my permission.” It’s here that Scott takes the first step into that unforgettable summer and makes the best friends of his life.
1388 Glenrose Dr., Salt Lake City
The iconic sandlot where the boys play baseball is located behind a house in Salt Lake City. Moreover, this is where Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez faces off against “The Beast” and where the gang spends most of their summer. The field is on private property, but fans can still view it from a distance.
Lorin Farr Park, Ogden
Squints’ infamous fake-drowning stunt to kiss lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn was filmed at Lorin Farr Park’s pool in Ogden. The park remains a popular local spot, and visitors can take a dip in the same pool where this hilarious scene was filmed.
Rose Park Field, Salt Lake City
The showdown between the sandlot kids and the rich Little League team was shot at Rose Park Field (1490 W. 600 N.). This is where Ham Porter delivers the legendary insult, “You play ball like a girl!”
The field is open to the public.
Liberty Park, Salt Lake City
After their big win, the boys celebrate at a carnival, only to regret chewing tobacco on a spinning ride. This scene was filmed at Liberty Park. It still hosts events and features attractions like Tracy Aviary.
1388 Glenrose Drive
The Sandlot’s ending, where Smalls narrates the fates of each character, was also filmed back at 1388 Glenrose Dr., bringing the story full circle. As each kid fades from the screen, the audience is reminded of the fleeting nature of youth and the friendships that defined it.
