    I've played company softball on this field several times over the past few years. It used to be a…read morereally crappy field (read: torn up grass, weeds, divots, shoddy infield, pretty much dilapidated and forgotten-- conditions not conducive to a softball or baseball game) up until a couple years ago when it was totally renovated.* Now, it's totally, shall I, say beautiful? Well, if you like turf, it's quite nice. So, obviously it's a no cleats field. There is a really nice track that surrounds the one field as well. There are stands for observers, bathrooms (which is a HUGE plus for athletes. Trust me...when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Also, the bathrooms are clean, AND they have soap and hand towels! I was amazed.**), and locker rooms, but those aren't open to the general public and are solely for students who go to MB high school. The field is impeccably maintained too. I saw one groundskeeper (no, it wasn't Willy) who actually raked the infield when we were finished with our game last night. I guess my only gripe is it'd be great if the infield was covered to protect it from rain. It was slightly muddy at home plate last night. Oh, and since it's almost directly under the Manhattan Bridge, it can get a little noisy, so you might have trouble hearing your infield. So, if you belong to a NYC softball league and are scheduled to play here, you're lucky, because it's one of the nicer turf fields in the city. *This could also be called "Verizon Field" if you want to be all corporate about it. I think they gave the high school money for remodeling. **Maybe if I knew you better I'd tell you of the bathroom horror stories at most softball fields...flies, no doors, port-o-potties, or no bathroom at all, which doesn't help if say, you've drunk too much Gatorade and can't stand and pee like a guy. Oh, I've said too much.

    dirt infield which runs deep enough for baseball. softball outfielders will normally end up…read morestanding on the dirt. the rest of the field is turf, but non-metal cleats ARE allowed. nice views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. a previous review said turf and no cleats allowed, but that's incorrect. nice field, but well out if the way. best path is F train to east broadway stop, but that's still a 4-5 block walk from there.

    This 9.4-acre park is mainly a little league softball and baseball field; there is an all-purpose…read morefield, with four fields total. A small picnic area with a couple of tables is located near the parking lot; the lot was spacious. It is open from 8am-8pm from April to November 15. There were signs mentioning that this park is home of Avon Little League Boys' Baseball and Girls' Softball. There are batting cages and a snack shack. We went when there wasn't a game going on and it was quiet. I'm sure it gets packed during games. Also, the Farmington Canal Greenway is right next to the park. Overall, a nicely maintained park; there were some potholes on the parking lot so be aware of that when driving.

    Visiting Sperry Park on a December afternoon is quite a bit different than visiting Sperry Park on…read morea June afternoon. Today, we saw just one car parked up there and pretty much nobody in the park, except for a few walkers on the Greenway Rails to Trails path behind the park. But had our visit been on a June afternoon, Sperry Park would have been crammed with cars and people. The Snack Bar would have been busy, the baseball diamonds and batting cages would have been populated, and their three baseball fields would have been ringed by cheering fans. All that because Sperry Park, isn't a Park in the sense of a conventional park, its the home of the Avon Little League and spread across it's 9.4 acres are a Major Field (Field #1), an Intermediate Field (Field #2), a Batting cage complex (Field #3), and a T-ball Field (Field #4). We enjoyed strolling around the complex and exploring the Rails to Trails portion that borders the park.
