Butterfield Park is a community gem in the center of Orange. The park’s beginnings were centered around the ballfield, with the land originally owned by the Butterfield family. Pamela Almira Butterfield passed away on Jan. 13, 1894. The town was given the option of purchasing the field from the estate on Sept. 29, 1906. The purchase was made with the understanding the land would always remain a park.
The park throughout the years has provided a space for many activities for the town. These include providing the Orange Peals, an Orange semi-pro baseball league, with a field to play on.
