Lowell Park, Cotuit, MA
The Campaign for Lowell Park
Summary
The Cotuit Athletic Association is continuing on capital improvements at historic Lowell Park in Cotuit, MA that when completed, will improve both the fan and player experience. ESPN once stated that Lowell Park was the new “Field of Dreams” and the Cotuit organization wants our loyal fans and countless visitors to continue to see and feel the ambience of the beautiful venue that is Lowell Park. Just as Fenway Park in Boston has done in recent years, we need to add and restore some much-needed features to make each Cotuit Kettleers home game a more positive and unique Cape Cod Baseball League experience.
See What We’ve Accomplished Together … So Far
