East Shore Park — Attraction in New Haven

I am only reviewing the baseball fields here. They are terrible. The infield is a dust bowl and the grass is long and patchy. The worst part is the pitching mounds and area around home plate. There are literal holes where the rubber is and where your foot would land on the mound as well as in the batters box. It is a wonder a kid hasn't slipped and gotten hurt or snapped an ankle.
