Schroeter's Field
Schroeter's Field is a five-acre field on the south side of Ampersand Avenue near Forest Home Road, next to the former site of Schroeter's Restaurant. The field is presently owned by Saranac Lake High School and is used for athletic practice and games. In the 1940s and 50s it was used for circuses and carnivals.
For many years this was the site of little league baseball in Saranac Lake, known locally as the Matty League in honor of baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson. Many youths who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s have fond memories of Schroeter's Field with its dugouts and scoreboard.
