Field surface: not yet verified
Field surface: not yet verified. The City of Fitchburg lists the four fields at Coolidge Park but doesn't say whether the infields are dirt or turf, so we haven't confirmed the surface. (4 ball fields at Coolidge Park, a City of Fitchburg park: Field 1 (Glen Michael Barrett Memorial Field), Field 2 (Darling Field), Softball Field 3 and Field 4 (Donna-Lee Withington Field). Field 4 is the home field of the Fitchburg State University Falcons softball team, and North County Spark Softball runs its youth tournaments here.)
