I play on these fields as part of a Social Boston Sports softball league, and I was struck by how lucky I am to be able to play here the 1st time I stepped on the field. The Red Sox Foundation makes sure the fields are immaculate. There are lights for night games, which comes in handy since my league plays 9 PM & 10 PM games. There are 2 baseball fields, so 2 games can occur at the same time. There are some small metal bleachers for friends to be able to come watch & cheer our team on. Benches are available for both teams, and the fence behind them comes in handy for hanging up coats. The 1st time I was in the outfield, I had to remind myself to be in the game rather than looking at the beautiful surroundings - the Red Line going over the Longfellow Bridge, and a beautiful Boston skyline. The turn for the field parking lot comes up pretty quick on Storrow Drive, so you have to be sure to be in the right lane not to miss it. It's a small parking lot, so I've had to wait for a space to open up to park, but have always been able to get a parking spot before the game begins. read more

As far as Boston softball fields go its one of the best maintained fields, however, there are significant problems with the field that prevent it from being anything more than a 2nd tier option at best. Field 1 left field is waaaayyy too short for adults, even without the trees that hang into play. The bases are too short- supposedly 65', but it wouldnt surprise me if they were closer to 60'. For reference ALL adult associations are using 70' base paths as of 2012. Further, the field management has chose to use those stupid SoftTouch bases- "soft" hollow rubber bases mounted on sleeves sunk into the dirt. Which tend to crack and split, or pop out of the sleeves which then fill with dirt and you can't put the base back in making the bases FAR more dangerous than non mounted bases. Safety wise, there is also a mini "green monster" scoreboard between the fields not far enough out of play just begging for somebody to run into it. At least they finally moved the metal stands which were also positioned close enough to the field to be a major problem on errant throws to 1B. The field looks nice, but it was clearly designed for looks rather than utility. read more
