Overview[]
The Cullen Family baseball field is a secluded forest clearing located near Forks, Washington. It is a location frequently used by the Cullen family to play baseball during thunderstorms, as the sound of thunder conceals the noise created by their supernatural strength. The field is best known for the baseball game attended by Bella Swan, which became a significant moment in the series.
