Free, just bring a blanket · the film waits for full dark, closer to 8:20, so it is a late one for little kids

What to know

  • The bowl is a natural amphitheater, so almost any spot has a sightline.
  • Getting there by 7 gets you a good patch of grass.
  • It is an outdoor screening, so check the organizer before you head out.

Our experience

University City District opens its outdoor movie season in the Clark Park bowl, the grassy amphitheater at 43rd and Chester. This one is A League of Their Own, the 1992 film about the first women's pro baseball league. Neighbors start claiming grass around 6:30 and the movie waits for real dark, closer to 8:20, so it runs late for little kids. Bring a blanket, chairs and dinner. Food vendors set up on site and Baltimore Avenue is a short walk. All four films this month were picked by community vote around the theme of freedom.

The screening happens in the Clark Park bowl, the natural grass amphitheater at 43rd and Chester, where neighbors start spreading out blankets around 6:30 and the film starts once it is properly dark, closer to 8:20. It is free with no ticket, and chairs, blankets and picnics are encouraged. Food vendors set up nearby and the Baltimore Avenue restaurants are a short walk.
