Very Important!

    Though Babson College is located on Forest Street in Wellesley, the baseball field is in  Needham, on the western edge of the campus. The baseball field entrance is located on Great Plain Avenue (Route 135) near the Wellesley-Needham town line ... AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE OLIN SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, 1735 Great Plain Avenue, Needham. The Olin entrance is marked by an "Olin Way" sign. By automobile, the field can be accessed only by going to the motor entrance to the Olin School ... NOT through the Babson campus. You may park on the Babson campus and walk through the Olin campus to get to the field (a five-minute walk). There is ample parking at the field.

[ASSISTANCE: Babson Security = 781-239-5555 or Athletics Office = 781-239-4250 or 4550]
