Everyone who loves sports at virtually every level has their favorite places to take in a game or event. In short — it’s just way cool. So what are the places on Cape Cod that provide for us some of those feelings, for better or worse? Well, we took a look at all the places we’ve seen games over the past year and here’s what we thought, mind you, these are strictly opinions and these places are not an attempt to “rank” anything. Enjoy.
Elizabeth Lowell Park
10 Lowell Avenue, Cotuit, MA – Owned by the Town of Barnstable but leased for 9 years by the Cotuit Athletic Association and home since 1947 to the 16-time Cape Cod Baseball League champions, the Cotuit Kettleers, this sage, old provincial delight, now almost wholly revamped, is a Cape Cod gem that represents all of the good things that remain with small-town America and its national pastime. Probably one of the last places on earth where little kids can be allowed to run free and fall in love with the game in its purest sense, Lowell Park has been for the last decade the central focus of investment by its chief overseer, the Cotuit Athletic Association. The organization has poured upwards of $1 million into the facility with Norman Rockwellesque new bleachers, a new kitchen facility, fantastic rest rooms, brick patios and walkways, the Arnold Mycock Press Building with accompanying Kettleers’ Store below, dugouts, new fencing, a revamped infield, state-of-the art scoreboard and so much more.
