Mary
Dennison Field
90 Beaver St., Framingham
MA 01702
A healthy walk, roughly equidistant from Commuter Rail stations in West Natick and Framingham
Located near working train tracks and sets of double lights, there are several comparable and adequate routes to the field through the traffic flow on a Sunday morn.
Leaving the field north through “Dennison Crossing” can leave you waiting at the very long Beaver St. red lights at RT-135. See below for best alternate route to MA PIKE and east (RT-9, RT-128, etc.)
Park away from the baseball backstop nearer the softball outfield or the basketball court.

From Mary Dennison Field to MA Pike or east (Boston, RT-128, etc.)
This longer
but faster route that your GPS won’t like for a while will be a much more
pleasant ride:
- Leave counter-intuitively to the south
- Beaver St. changes in name to Kendall St. at the Sherborn town line
- Stop for fresh fruit or fresh ice cream at Sunshine Farm on right
- Continue over the hill and go LEFT at sharp left bend (Coolidge St. on right) as Kendall ends and becomes Speen St. to the north and then crosses RT-135, then RT-9, then RT-30 and the MA Pike entrance. ************************************

Butterworth Park
The park - with a baseball field, softball field, and tennis
and basketball courts - is located between Grant St. and Bishop St (parallel
roads) with Arthur St.
as a cross road. The closest address for the baseball field is 251 Grant St, Framingham,
MA 01702,
near the basketball court. (Or, as they might say in Maine, "Near where the large concrete grandstand used to be."
Parking:
- A small lot off Bishop
St. (best available GPS address for the parking lot is 220 Bishop St.
01702) between the tennis courts and the softball field is the safest place to
not get hit by a ball
- On-street on Grant
St. is very close to the 1st base foul line
- DO NOT PARK ON ARTHUR ST. Some spaces are close to the short right field fence and others cause a glare for the batter, being directly behind the pitcher.
Unlike GPS routes, these directions take into account
traffic flow to avoid lights and congested surface roads near downtown and
RT-126.
