The backstop and stands at Fontana Field, as seen from down the right field line.

The press box sits directly behind the backstop, and features a concession stand underneath it.

A small set of bleachers sits down the third base line, with plenty of room beside it for fans to set up their own chairs.

The field runs right up against a path and access road on the first base side so there is only a small area on that side of the backstop for fans.

A longer, taller, set of bleachers is located by the batting cages in the right field corner.

The field level dugouts at Fontana Field. Southington High School's football stadium stands behind the field.

The field features a lot of foul territory behind the plate, including a large gravel warning track.

The park is on the campus of Southington High School and school buildings stand beside the first base side.

Bullpens sit in foul territory in the outfield corners.

The outfield fence is fairly uniform except for the area in the right field corner which is slightly taller. Plaques on this stretch of the fence celebrate former Southington players who have made the major leagues.

The scoreboard stands behind the left field fence.
