Cantine Field

The Cantine Veterans Memorial Complex is a 127-acre sports and recreation complex owned and operated by the Town of Saugerties under the Department of Parks, Recreation & Buildings.

Annually, the Complex plays host to the New York Mets Baseball Academy, Antique Auto Show, Fourth of July Celebration and Carnival, Library Book Fair, AYSO Soccer Camp, High School Wrestling Camp, High School Graduation, American Cancer Society Relay For Life, Ulster Fillies Girls Fast Pitch Tournament, numerous High School and College sectional, regional, and state tournaments and competition. Additionally, many Little League, Babe Ruth and other All Star Games and Tournaments are held at Cantine Memorial Complex.

The facilities at the Complex are the “home fields” to the Saugerties Sawyers High School baseball, softball, tennis, and soccer teams. Boys and girls in the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Modified Sports Programs are accommodated. Further, Ulster County Community College uses the site as their alternate “home field” for the Senators baseball, softball, and soccer games.

Additionally, every year on the last full weekend in September the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival takes place. This is the largest festival of its kind east of the Rocky Mountains. Traditionally, 45,000 – 50,000 people attend the two-day event.
