    Take me out to the ball game. A great place to watch baseball on the Cape. Free to attend and watch…read morebring a blanket or a chair and enjoy the game. Concessions, snacks and all your favorite ballpark snacks are available. The sausage with peppers and onions is delicious! Wanna be dressed like a Firebird fan... they've got gear too.

    This is Field of Dreams in real life. Actually, it's better because it's on Cape…read more Founded about 150 years ago, the Cape League has become the country's top summer league for college players. The grass is real and the bats are wood. The players are incredibly talented and driven as this is one place where MLB scouts swarm to find talent. This is legit, high quality baseball in an incredibly inviting and casual setting. Former players I've seen include Nomar Garciaparra, Marcus Stroman, Kolten Wong, and many others who have come through Orleans. Other former Cape Leaguers are Jason Varitek, Aaron Bleepin' Boone (Orleans), Frank Thomas (Orleans), Jonathan Papelbon, Chase Utley, Jackie Bradley, Jr., Andrew Benintendi, Mark Bellhorn, Bill Mueller, Kevin Millar, and a bunch of other dudes you would know. The players live with host families, and many work summer jobs in addition to playing ball. The team hosts youth baseball camps in the mornings, with the players and coaches instructing. Some players are available to private lessons (these are incredible). The home field is Eldredge Park on the middle school grounds at the corner of Rt. 28 and Eldredge Parkway. Home games are played in the evenings, with first pitch at 7 pm. Bring your own chairs or blankets, and set up in any open space. Get a free roster with up-to-date stats, and grab a team program that your kids can get autographed after the game. The kids can also run the bases, sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame, play on the playground beyond the left field fence, track down some foul balls, and otherwise have good, clean fun. It's free, but take the opportunity to play the 50/50 raffle or donate when the hat is passed around. Say hi to George the Firebird when you see him. He'll be wearing a red bird costume and is really loud.

    You know you're entering a new phase in your life when you start writing reviews of playgrounds…read moreinstead of awesome restaurants/bars. That's right, yelpers... parenthood and old age are staring you down. Cummings Park Playground is the favorite playground for my 1.25yr old. The climbing/play structures are built on large sand areas, so it's like a giant sandbox (with clean sand no less). There are quite a few donated toys lying around (many of which are trucks), so there's lots to play with. 3 toddler swings, 2 big kid swings. A small basketball court with one hoop. The whole park is nicely laid out. I feel perfectly comfortable just sitting back on one of the benches and letting him walk around and explore. The best part is that its primarily used by 1-4yr olds, and there is almost always some kids there to play with (especially in the mornings). It can get busy, but it never gets too busy/insane (like Alexander W. Kemp playground in Harvard Sq). Generally speaking, the big kids and teenagers keep away. The worst part is that it has very little shade. In fact, there is no shade on the climbing structures, so they can get hot in the middle of the day. There are a few trees, but they aren't positioned particularly well. All the exciting stuff that your kids will want to play with are in the sunny spots. So I would recommend it as a early/mid-morning playground.

    A few years back, I looked at an apt right across the street from this park so I recently revisited…read morethis playground with my toddler (20 months). The first thing that struck me about this park were the separate play areas for under 5 and over 5 kiddos. I tend to go to the park on Summer St but there is only one structure and when the bigger kids play Tag, I always worry about my daughter getting knocked over or off the structure. The under 5 structure has only one opening through which there is potential for a fall; otherwise, the panels are closed. The structure offers opportunity to develop the gross motor skills through climbing and crawling through tubes. I genuinely appreciate the three baby swings as well as the sand (vs wood chips). Another big bonus is that Whole Foods is just a short walk down the street. There is a small basketball court adjacent to the playground but doesn't seem to be frequently utilized. This definitely seems to be a more family friendly park!
