Lukkarila Stadium is a pesäpallo stadium located in Lapua, Finland. Since its opening it has been the home field of the Lapuan Virkiä, a Superpesis team.[1][2]

Traditional pesäpallo stadium received additional roofing for its stands in the summer of 2017 and now the entire venue is covered. In 2017, the stadium underwent a major renovation of the stands and improvements to the pitch conditions. The project budget was €150 000.[3] There is plenty of room for home runs. Especially balls hit on the back field can bounce all the way to the athletics field.[1]

The Women's All-Star game: East-West, has been played at the Lukkarila Stadium three times; in the years 1966, 1977 and 1980.[4]
