About the Location

Sports Facilities

This park is home to three baseball/softball fields, with one that's lit up for evening games - well-suited for those after-work leagues. The fields are open to the community from 3:30 PM to 9:00 PM weekdays and all day on weekends, so there's plenty of time to get your game on.

Baseball isn't your thing? No worries. There are fields for soccer or football too. And if basketball is more your style, you can shoot some hoops at the outdoor basketball courts once the school day wraps up.

Fitness Options

Need to get your steps in? Albert Van Zanten Park features a 440-yard track that's just waiting for your walking or jogging routine. There are also plenty of sidewalks across the park, making it easy to create your own path when you're looking to stretch your legs.

Amenities

You won't have to cut your day short due to basic needs - the park comes equipped with restrooms, a concession stand for snacks, and score booths for the serious sports events. The landscaping here is quite beautiful too, adding a touch of nature to your recreational activities.

When hunger strikes, head to one of the picnic areas where you can enjoy a packed lunch or simply take a breather between activities. These spots provide a nice balance to the more active areas of the park.

Dog-Friendly Environment

Dog parents, rejoice! Your furry friends are welcome at Albert Van Zanten Park. The dog-friendly policy means you don't have to leave your four-legged family members at home while you enjoy the outdoors. There's plenty of open space for them to explore (while on leash, of course).

Spanning 7.6 acres and sitting right next to a school, this community park functions as a neighborhood recreation space. Whether you're looking to play a game, get some exercise, or simply enjoy a pleasant afternoon outdoors, Albert Van Zanten Park offers various options.
