The Rampart Field (Finnish: Vallikenttä) is a pesäpallo stadium located in Hamina, Finland. Since its opening in 1956,[2] it has been the home field of the Haminan Palloilijat, a Superpesis team.[1][3]

The Rampart Field is located in the heart of Hamina Fortress, right next to the ramparts of the central bastion. Despite this, the pitch is set up in such a way that there is plenty of room for through balls.[1]

City of Hamina has a named street to the Rampart Field after the club's greatest legend, Kari Lindberg. [2]
