If I went back in a time to an 80's mid-A minor league baseball game, it suspect it would look like…read morethis. We arrived an hour early and could have walked into the park without notice. Both the left field and home plate gates were wide open without a person in sight. We paid for tickets. The field itself sits in a neighborhood. Kinda cool, kinda odd too. I felt like I was at a glorified high school game. The park itself has some construction going on in back of the left field seats. I'm guessing that might house player functions, like the home team hitting cage, which is currently held in a netted enclosure under left field (high school style). The small players clubhouse sits on the fan concourse so players and coaching staff alike walk through the concourse to get to the dugout & field. Another unusual site. The field here seems huge but that might be due to the small size of the seating area. They offer three different seating options..two of which have you parked on a bleacher seat (one with back rest, one without). The high rollers pay to sit in a half plastic seat that's screwed to the bleacher seat. Pretty odd..you have to see it for yourself. We ate prior to the game so we only noshed on a pretzel once we arrived. The food options seemed limited. On field amenities are vintage 1955. No big screen, no video whatsoever. Just one, small center field score board. The outfield walls are littered with advertisements. I'm surprised they have lights. Aside from watching baseball, which is exactly why we came here, there isn't one redeeming feature inside or outside this park. We enjoyed the baseball but the park is devoid of culture and modernization.

Our experience at the Beloit Snappers game featured all of the things that make minor-league…read morebaseball great. We were close to the action (second row!), surrounded by families, old people and amiably rivalrous partisans of both teams. There were contests, catcalls. This is baseball the way it should be (except that the players should be payed MORE). The quality of play (the Snappers are the A ball affiliate of the Oakland A's major league club) was good. Concessions were OK (pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, LOTS of beers). There is a ramp for people who need it. There are three kinds of seats: bleachers, amply-wide seats behind home and halfway up the first and third base lines (screened and protected from foul balls) and field-level seats for those who wants to get as close to the game as possible). If you are a fan of the minor-league game and in the area, you owe yourself a trip to this park springing out of an otherwise ordinary residential neighborhood.

I say this about a lot of parks but, this is definitely one of the best parks I have ever been to…read more There are 6 areas for different sports, including: basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, and ping pong. In addition to the sports, there is a very nice playground, pavilion (with electricity and a grill), and a walking trail.

There's four main baseball diamonds, under the lights, but I counted 6 total. There's also at least 6 full soccer fields, with goals, and there could be more. There's a playground and restrooms on the premises, covered picnic tables, and bleachers. Every time we've been here, it's been really busy, but there is plenty of space for you to come and practice, play some small games, or just enjoy watching the games. If you're thinking about participating in Huntley sports, you'll be well taken care of! What a great park!

Such a fun night at the DockHounds!…read more The Lake Country DockHounds are in Oconomowoc and are part of the American Association of Professional Baseball. It's just a fun, more laid-back baseball experience and feels warmer and way more reasonable for families than going to a major league game. Parking was only $5 and not far to walk at all. We were in the club seats, which were supplier sponsored for us, and they were sweet! Honestly, I don't think there's a bad seat in the house and the regular tickets are priced very reasonably. The buffet was really good -- chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers and yummy mashed potatoes. Got a hat, watched some good baseball and of course had to cheer on the Leinenkugel's and Miller Lite can race Miller Lite won, which meant $4 beers for the rest of the game! The DockHounds didn't get the win, but we still had a great time and finished the night with some really nice fireworks. Good food, good beer, fun atmosphere and just a really fun night out. Definitely recommend checking out a DockHounds game!

There are chairs with counter tops, your own bar with bartender, and servers to take food orders from the nearby taco stand. There are plenty of food options at the Wisconsin Brewing Company stadium, and a kids area with basketball court and bounce houses. After the game, the kids can run around the diamond (it's a version of artificial turf, so no dirt in the kids), and the players sign autographs. Three pitchers were signed to major league team systems this year, so far! There are also multiple seating and group outing options, starting at just $10. I enjoyed a smoked brisket sandwich and loaded tater tots with cheese sauce, pulled pork, BBQ sauce and scallions. In the 6th inning they run a $1 popcorn promo for the inning, and they also have a 50/50 raffle and beer can race (like the sausage race). This is another great option for affordable family-friendly fun! I will be back, and I recommend this experience!

I was in the area picking something up and decided to take a short walk through this park. My…read morenephews and I used to come here in Spring when everything was still covered in snow, and in winter, the park is popular for cross-country skiing, so I'm quite familiar with it. I've also attended a foraging class here through the Madison Public Library, which was a great experience. The trails are easy to walk, but keep an eye out for black walnuts that ripen and drop onto the ground--you could easily step on one and twist an ankle (as I unfortunately did). Along the way, you might spot squirrels and hear birds singing in the bushes. I even came across some mushrooms, which reminded me of the foraging class. There's a restroom facility and a pond nearby, and in winter, local families love coming here for sledding on hill. I've done it myself--it's a lot of fun, just make sure to protect your back on the way down! Don't say I didn't warn you!

If you have your own skates you can skate for as long as you want. They have 2 rinks, one for regular ice skating and the other for hockey. They have the green assistance rollators, for when you need assistance ice skating, that are useful. The ice was chipped in some areas, but overall good quality. There is a huge hill close by that looks like it can be sledded when there's more snow.

The surprising Sox have a 4 game lead in their division and the Cubs are 5 games back of the Brewers but hold the top NL Wild Card spot, and here it is mid August already. It's surely been a pretty fun year for Chicago MLB fans, except both teams moved to pay to view TV, and I refuse to pay after watching them for free for decades, and so I am still annoyed, but whatever. Anyway, the Sox won a good game 3-0 on this day and held the Cubs to 2 hits, and in front of a typically big Crosstown Classic crowd of 40,086. In other news, I paid a PR $17.75 for a 12 oz beer. Yes, I plan to keep track of beer prices here because they are so ridiculous, it's laughable. The end, for now.
