A fantastic Farmer’s Market of Maine produce each Saturday in the summer and fall –not to be missed.
Great park. Parking is easy, if lot next to stadium is full, there are plenty of reasonably priced ones near the field. Park itself is very intimate. Not a bad seat in the place. Try RF wall seats!
Lobster rolls are available at the concession stand, a perfect compliment to a great Maine team!
