What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Cantine Veterans Memorial Complex for its well-maintained facilities, particularly the baseball fields and the expansive, flat roadways ideal for skating and cycling. It's also a popular venue for community events like festivals, offering a fun and laid-back atmosphere with diverse food and vendors. Some find it can get crowded during events and that water can be hard to come by.
"Cantine Field is a 127-acre group of baseball fields located in Saugerties, NY. The field is home to the Saugerties Stallions of the Perfect Game College Baseball League. The fields and athletic facilities are well maintained. The Stallions arguably have the best playing field in the PGCBL.
The main baseball field was built in 1937. For PGCBL games there are bleachers set up along the first and third base lines. Along the third base line there is a large picnic area to enjoy the game. You are allowed to bring your own seats for this area. Behind home plate there are VIP chairback seats. Further behind the VIP seats there are another set of bleachers located underneath a roof. The bleacher seats have a nice view of the whole field.
For Stallions games there is a reasonably priced concession stand. There is also a nice well stocked team merchandise shop. The Stallions have a welcoming atmosphere and seeing a game at Cantine Field is a great experience."

The atmosphere was laid back and fun, with lots of delicious food and cool vendors. The field is spacious and well-maintained, perfect for big events. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!"
