Carl Thomas Field in North Andover is a recreational facility owned and maintained by the Town of North Andover. It has 3 baseball fields, all well maintained and accompanied by a snack hut, restrooms, and playground.
Carl Thomas is very close to Rt. 495, but parking can be a little tricky coming off the highway—especially if you’re new to North Andover.
Go past the fields (you’ll see them on your left), and take the first available left onto Marblehead Street. Follow Marblehead around to the left, past the small office park and parking lot. Turn left onto Dana Street and you’ll find the parking lots and street parking there.
