The 4 baseball fields are immaculate and in excellent shape. There is a lot of paved parking, one main entrance and two ticket booths, concessions (I could smell french fries), male and female bathrooms along with a unisex/family bathroom. Our field had a small section of bleachers and there was plenty of flat space for chairs and sports bubbles. Sidebar: Our son played baseball from the age of 7 all the way through high school. That's 11 years of us sitting in the wind, rain, sleet and freezing temperatures. Sports bubbles weren't around then so I was fascinated by them and yes, JEALOUS. People had wagons loaded with their own snacks and drinks but I doubt that would be allowed for the Minor League games. Plus, I think concession food helps make the baseball experience even better. Anyway, we had a great time! Hotdog, peanuts and popcorn anyone?!

Hope Mills Municipal Park was a huge part of my youth growing up very close by. I've lived in…read moreseveral different houses in or near Hope Mills and even volunteered at the library that sits beside this park. This little center of town makes up the perfect collection of services that make up an All-American place. There's the library I mentioned, fire station, police station, town hall and a park all wrapped up into one spot. The park itself is surrounded by a mostly paved one mile trail for walking, running or casual bike riding. Inside you can find plenty of parking, a few lit baseball fields, basketball court and even a couple football/soccer fields. There are picnic shelters, water fountains and bathroom. They even have concession stands for when the local games are played here. Last, and perhaps most important, there is a lightly attended recreation center here which I understand is free (or maybe just really cheap) to all residents of Hope Mills. In general, one would be remiss not to scope out this quiet and charming park.

The husband and I had spent five days "vacationing", i.e., doing nothing. This is good--for awhile…read more Then you need to get up, get outside, and get active. At least we do. So we searched the hiking trails in the area and settled on Mazarick Park because it's on a lake; and we love the water. The route we took to get there was scary at times. An entire strip of sports (that's one word for it) bars and cabarets (read: strip clubs) with names like Bottoms Up. But with six minutes left in the drive, we pressed on and hoped for the best. Now we have visited some incredibly beautiful lakes before; this wasn't one of them. Still, it's a lake with lovely rows of water bound trees that make a nice reflection on the water's surface. (See photo.) A few men were fishing off a dock for "anything that will eat the bait." We would've sat on the pier for awhile but didn't want to disturb their fishing. A paved path extends in opposite directions from the pier. Each ending at a road, so we doubled back at each end. The park is also used for disc golf and has a few playgrounds, pavilions and rest rooms throughout. The path, covered with tall pines, was very well maintained and the bathrooms clean, but there was some trash in the brush. I wished I'd brought a trash bag and gloves. Nonetheless, the walk was quiet and serene, with chirping birds and only a few people. The entire walk was about 2 miles, flat and easy. We'd walk it again.

The artificial turf in the stadium includes synthetic "dirt" and "sand". The stadium also includes a patio on the upper level with a dozen or so umbrella tables. Restrooms include changing stations and plenty of stalls. Overall, a great location for multiple sports.

However, the stadium is quaint, new, and clean. The absolute best part for me was the shaded seating and ceiling fans. For those sun enthusiasts, there is a tiny section left unshaded. They have a big screen that introduces all the home players, AstroTurf grass, wooden bats, and the stadium is well lit when the sun goes down. The mascot Sal the Salamander is a delight; great with the kids and fun to watch. Concessions are adequate for the size of the clientele and they offer the basics of hot dogs, beer, ice cream, and more. The parking was convenient. The lot was large and a short distance from the stadium. If you are in the mood for smaller crowds and a hometown baseball feel, north main athletic complex is a fantastic choice.

The facility is named in memory of Albemarle native Don Montgomery, an NC State University athlete, ex-Major League Baseball player, and decorated military veteran. There is also a plaque honoring the 1940 Junior World Series Champions that lists the names of the players and coaches. There is parking along Efird Street.
