The grounds were lovely, and they were plenty of plant and tree specimens that one does not normally see in this part of Ohio. I liked the knobby knee cypress trees the best! The insect quotient was very low, making me wonder if they spray. It seems as though they must because of all the flowers and plants. It's an amazing setting for a concert and I wonder why they have not had a smooth jazz concert there since. I definitely would go! This seems as though it would be a great place to take photos of your family. People are very friendly here and it would be a very nice afternoon daycaytion!

We attended Golden Spikes 2024 tourney here…read more Good news... It's a well maintained and managed facility. Games ran mostly on time, announcers did a good job during games. Maintenance crew did a good job. Dugouts were clean and well maintained. Small bleacher areas at almost all fields. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. There's a ropes course, putt putt golf, and nice playground on site. There are several nice batting cages. Rules about behavior for adults and kids are strict. Bad news... Umps were late a couple of times, frustrating when teams are ready to play on time. The tourney tshirt vendor was out of popular shirt sizes on day 1. (Sports Force probably has little, or no, control over these two things). Biggest complaint is that the posted rules say no coolers, no outside food or drinks - not even water. When you come to the field to stay for half a day or more, it stinks to pay $7 for a slice of pizza and $5 for a bottle of water, especially considering the $11 per day entry fee and steep price to enter a team to play here. With the allowance of outside food and water, this place would easily get 5 stars. Great place to play!

In spite of the wind, it was bearable and the temps were not offensive. I enjoyed watching the ball game and although we lost it was a great afternoon of relaxation as I enjoyed America's past time, baseball. Another time that I came, I selected a seat in the suites that included food and drink as part of the ticket price. It was essentially endless choices of food in a make to order situation with unlimited portions/refills on both the food and drink. It's a fun ballpark. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is fun and fantastic and I will come again!

From the City of Monroe website. Munson Park Information…read more Located on the extreme west side of the City, Munson Park includes 212.07 acres adjacent to Monroe Custer Airport. It includes both active and passive areas although the emphasis is on active pursuits. Four lighted regulation adult softball diamonds with spectator seating and flagpoles at the ball diamond entrance, two youth sized ball diamonds, twelve soccer fields, a soccer concession/restroom building, four tennis courts, a large community built playscape, a jogging/exercise trail, walking/biking trail through the woods at the north end of the property, approximately 80 acres of restored native prairie grass, a skate park for skateboarding and inline skating, a pond with a spray fountain and two sand volleyball courts are found on the developed part of the park. Winter recreation activity areas include an outdoor ice skating on the pond located near a sledding hill. Paved parking lots provide parking for approximately 200 vehicles. Picnic shelters with cooking grills near the playground equipment offer respite from the active areas. The ball diamonds are serviced by a two-story concession building with a food concession and restrooms on the lower level and a scorekeeping loft on the upper level. Drinking fountains are available at the picnic shelter area, and at the ball diamond concession and the soccer concession areas. The City offers community garden plots for rent where local residents may grow fresh vegetables and fruits within the undeveloped part of the site.

Absolutely love going to an Akron Rubberducks game. The park is in a great location in downtown…read moreAkron. One of my favorites things is seeing Akron Children's Hospital overseeing the ball park. I can only imagine how much it brightens a child's day to look out their hospital room window to see the inside of the ball park. There was a 2026 Extreme Foods article written about food at Akron Rubberducks ball park. My family and I decided to try a couple. The pictures here show The Italian Sausage Dugout from the Bier Garten. For $22 you get the Italian Sausage Dugout (sausage, peppers, onions, marinara, and mozzarella cheese) and a souvenior cup with pop. I was excited and looking forward to this all day, but it was a let down. It wasn't hot in the inside and the French bread tasted like it came out of the freezer. A couple of my other family members got the TeriAkron bowl from the Pineapple Under the C and won't be getting it again. It wasn't as flavorful as one would expect. Overall, a great experience watching the Rubberducks win!

What a nice little stadium in a charming town! With wonderful baseball to boot!…read more The Toledo Mud Hens, at the time of my visit here, were the AAA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. I'd seen the visiting team -- the Saint Paul Saints -- but it was back in their Northern League Days when Mike Veeck owned the team. Either way, this was outstanding baseball in a wonderful environment. As I've mentioned in other ballpark reviews, I'm a former broadcaster who has seen hundreds of baseball games at all levels across the country. Though I've been to plenty of MLB games (dating back to the days of Arlington Stadium, Veterans Stadium, Shea Stadium and the former Yankees Stadium), I'm still partial to minor league baseball. Sure, I enjoyed seeing the likes of Juan Gonzalez smashing balls into the parking lot and Curt Schilling striking out 16 Yankees (that was in 1997, and I loved it with all my heart), but seeing players who are trying to make it to the show -- or trying to make it back, such as so many players on the Mud Hens -- brings me greater joy. Seeing a game in Toledo was a bucket list thing for me, if only because of Jamie Farr's character on MASH. With such a nice little stadium and wonderful baseball to boot, I wish I'd come sooner. A couple of caveats though. First, I've paid less for parking at a Coldplay concert. Further, at least those lots took cards. (These guys only take cash, but I'm sure the parking lot owners report their earnings to the IRS -- NOT!) Secondly, the hot dogs at this park are saltier than the Black Sea. Thank God I took a double dose of Amlodipine! But seriously, I'd come back here in a second.

Wonderful baseball! Outstanding atmosphere!…read more As a former broadcaster, I've been to a lot of stadiums between New York and Texas over the past 30-some-odd years. While I've never had a bad experience at a baseball game, Forefront and the Crushers are among the standouts. The Crushers are a Frontier League team. It's independent, which means many of the players here have either never made it to the MILB, or they did and it didn't work out like they wanted. In other words, they are playing their butts off to make it to the next level. Whether it's baseball, hoops, hockey or football, players at this level tend to warm my heart and feed my appetite for excellent competition. Besides, lower level baseball is just flat-out fun. Though I always root for the home team, it was a little different this time around, as the family of Evansville's starting pitcher was sitting right next to me. His name was Ben, and I found myself cheering for him as well. He was small by MLB standards, and his pitching was a mixed bag. Still, like everyone else on the field, he was living a dream. I was certainly honored to see it. As for Forefront Field, it's small with nary a bad seat in the house. The beer selection is as good as any ballpark, and the hot dogs were divine. The mascot here, Stomper, is a real trooper. The poor dude had to be sweating his rear end off, but he still played along with the crowd. If I lived in these neck of the woods, I'd be a season ticket holder. This is wonderful family entertainment, and the baseball playing is clutch.
