I've been following the Cape League since my father took me to a game when I was in 5th grade..never mind the year...lol. let's say a long time ago. Lol
Anyway. We walked to Veterans Field in Chatham. Sat on the hill in right field. And we were both hooked! I've been the head photographer for the Cotuit Kettleers for 20 years thus year. And someone once said it's right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
You better get there early to get a good parking spot. But even if you have to park off site, it's only a 5 minute walk to the park. The stands on the 3rd base and first base sides are modern and spacious. Or you can set up a folding chair along the 3rd base side under the trees and view from that spot.. just a reminder. If you are new to the Cape....bring a wind breaker. The Temps can be much lower that your home town....
But the park is roomy...there is the Cotuit store. That for a very reasonable price you can purchase Cape League and Cotuit Kettleer merchandise...you're hungry?...venture over to the Kettleer Kitchen..they'll fill you up..and as you walk behind the 3rd base grandstand. The Kettleers have on display just a few of their 17...that's right....17 Cape Cod League championship trophies...the most successful team in leagues history.
So check it out....take the kids for an enjoyable afternoon with a dark at the park. You might even get lucky a catch a foul...

Nice mature trees for plenty of shady walks. A pretty good sized parking lot to hold an estimated 40 vehicles, plus some creative parking on game days. Even with packed carpools in each space, I think there is plenty of room in the stands. Add in all the locals that walk and bike to fill in the gaps. Yep. Stands are crowded for these free games. The baseline grassy areas under tree shade shelter are just as packed. Nice restrooms, concessions, trophy display, and store, round out the amenities. The teams can enjoy bullpens, batting cages, and practice areas. This is a nice park to enjoy some quality...
Read moreView potential Major League baseball players at any Cape Cod League game. But Lowell Park in Cotuit is especially beautiful and quaint. It is my understanding that the and around the park has been purchased to preserve its beautiful green space.
Food is available for purchase and there is a nice concession stand for you to purchase Cape Cod League souvenirs.
Cotuit is a lovely village and the Kettleers are a source of community pride. Lowell Park provides a beautiful gathering spot for locals and summer...
