About Eleanor Nelson Park
Park Overview
Positioned in Vacaville, California, Eleanor Nelson Park spreads across 10.5 acres of neighborhood green space. The park has facilities for sports enthusiasts and families looking for a casual afternoon outdoors. If you're into softball, this park is a Vacaville classic for softball where locals gather for recreation and friendly competition.
Recreational Facilities
The heart of Eleanor Nelson Park beats with its two lighted softball fields complete with bleachers for spectators. These well-maintained fields host everything from casual games to community tournaments, drawing players and fans throughout the season. Got kids in tow? The park features a playground area designed specifically for children aged 5-12, where the little ones can climb, slide, and play in a safe environment while you cheer on the softball action or simply relax nearby.
Park Amenities
No need to cut your park visit short for bathroom breaks - Eleanor Nelson comes equipped with public restrooms on the grounds. There's also a concession building where you might grab refreshments during events. While the park shines in the sports department, just know that picnic facilities might be more limited than you'd expect from a park this size.
Connectivity and Access
Feel like exploring beyond the park? Eleanor Nelson connects directly to the Alamo Creek bikeway, making it easy to extend your outdoor adventure into the broader trail system. Within the park itself, a nice pathway meanders through the grounds, ideal for a leisurely stroll or a more purposeful walk. Getting here is hassle-free thanks to an off-street parking lot with space for up to 108 vehicles - so you won't have to circle around hunting for a spot, even during busy softball tournaments.
