Some softball teams play on city park fields that are geared for slow pitch softball. Some have fences and some do not. But if the field is a slow pitch field it will be at least 250 to 300 ft from home and quite a distance for kids to run if the ball is over their heads.
I think baseball is in a different situation from the point that they require a 'mound' to pitch from and cannot use a lot of public facilities. Towns usually use the high school fields for baseball. Most summer baseball upper division leagues use the high school fields for games, so they become psuedo public parks for baseball.
