Yes — EmergencyRefs staffs certified officials across all of Freeport's village parks: Glacken Park, Northeast Park, and Randall Park. Freeport is an incorporated village in the Town of Hempstead that runs its own Recreation Department rather than relying on the town, and Freeport Little League — active since 1952 — drives the heaviest volume on the diamonds. We aim for 12 hours notice and take same-day requests based on availability.
A Village That Runs Its Own Fields
Our Nassau County coverage guide covers the whole county at a summary level, but Freeport is worth its own page for the same reason Rockville Centre got one: it's an incorporated village that runs its own Parks and Recreation Department and its own Recreation Center, rather than booking fields through the Town of Hempstead the way an unincorporated hamlet would. That means facility permits, field maintenance schedules, and rec league sign-ups all route through the village directly — a different point of contact than a typical South Shore rec league.
Freeport Little League has operated continuously since 1952, which is longer than most Little League charters on Long Island, and it still runs the bulk of the spring and summer diamond schedule across the village's parks. That kind of tenure means a deep, well-organized volunteer base — but it also means the diamonds get heavy, overlapping use across multiple divisions on the same weekend, which is exactly when a last-minute umpire cancellation is hardest to absorb.
Parks and Fields We Staff
| Park | What's There | Sports We Staff |
|---|---|---|
| Glacken Park | Little League–regulation diamond with lights and scoreboard, plus basketball courts | Baseball, softball, basketball |
| Northeast Park | 90-foot lighted baseball diamond, resurfaced tennis courts, lighted basketball courts | Baseball, softball, basketball, tennis |
| Randall Park | 8.2-acre South Freeport park with a lighted multi-use field alongside the village pool | Softball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, football |
📍 One field, several sports: Randall Park's overhead lighting keeps its multi-use field booked for softball, soccer, lacrosse, and football across the same evening in season. Give us the exact time slot, not just "Randall Park," so we send an official who's actually working your sport and not the game before or after it.
Sports We Staff Most Often in Freeport
Baseball and softball carry the most volume by a wide margin, tied directly to Freeport Little League's spring and summer schedule across Glacken and Northeast Parks. Soccer, flag and tackle football, and lacrosse pick up at Randall Park's lighted field once the diamonds slow down, and basketball moves indoors to the Recreation Center and the lighted courts at Glacken and Northeast through the winter. If your program plays a sport not on this list, ask — our baseball umpires guide and other sport-specific pages cover certification and crew-size detail beyond what fits here.
How to Book a Referee in Freeport
- Tell us the sport, age group, and level — Little League, rec, travel, or tournament.
- Name the exact park and field — Glacken, Northeast, or Randall, plus the field number or time slot if Randall Park is running more than one sport that evening.
- Confirm your date and time — same-day requests are accepted based on availability; a day or two of lead time helps most during peak spring Little League weekends.
- We confirm your official — certification matched to your sport and division, with a backup plan if something changes before first pitch or kickoff.

Request a Freeport Referee at EmergencyRefs.com →What's Different From a Standard County Request
If your program plays across multiple Nassau towns, not just Freeport, our Nassau County referee guide covers the full county footprint. Freeport sits on the South Shore between our Rockville Centre and Wantagh coverage areas, which means requests here can draw officials from either direction depending on who's closest to your field that day. Just to the east, our Oceanside referee coverage guide covers a similarly hamlet-run South Shore community with the same rain- and storm-related scheduling considerations. Because Freeport Public Schools' interscholastic games are generally assigned through the section rather than booked directly, that's the one category we don't place independently — see our certification and background check guide for how we vet everyone we do place. And if Freeport Little League is planning its full spring schedule rather than single games, see how far in advance to book a referee for when season-long assigning actually pays off.
