Deaconess Sports Park

Where Champions Play

Located in Evansville, Indiana, Deaconess Sports Park is a 71-acre sports complex that's become a popular destination for baseball and softball players since opening in 2015. With its thoughtful design, the complex has established itself as a frequent host for youth and adult tournaments throughout Southern Indiana.

The heart of the park? Eight competition-grade fields featuring synthetic turf infields paired with lush Bermuda grass outfields. If you're into fast-pitch, slow-pitch softball, or watching the under-12 baseball stars of tomorrow, these meticulously maintained fields consistently impress teams who make the journey here.

Field Features That Score Big

Each field comes equipped with the kinds of amenities that make both players and spectators happy. Wireless scoreboards keep everyone in the loop, while field lighting means the action doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down. Spectators can relax in covered bleachers that provide much-needed shade during those sweltering summer tournaments.

Players benefit from covered dugouts with proper bullpens between innings, while batting cages and warm-up areas are available for pre-game preparation.

Navigating the complex is a breeze thanks to paved walkways throughout, and the clean restrooms are a simple but appreciated feature. When hunger strikes, two full-service concession stands serve up various options - the burgers seem to be a particular hit among the park-goers.

Beyond the Diamond

A nice feature of Deaconess is the recognition that not everyone in the family might want to watch baseball or softball all day. Two playgrounds are strategically positioned near the fields, giving younger siblings something to do between innings. On hot days, the splash pad offers a refreshing escape, while a mile-long, nine-foot-wide walking path encircles the complex for those looking to get their steps in.

The central bandstand adds another dimension to the park, hosting everything from movies to live performances. And if you're feeling adventurous, the complex connects to the Green River Road trail and nearby neighborhood sidewalks, extending your recreational options beyond the park boundaries.

Part of Something Bigger

Sitting right next to the Goebel Soccer Complex, Deaconess Sports Park has become an important economic and recreational anchor for Evansville. There's ample parking for regular days, but you might want to arrive early during major tournaments when spaces fill up quickly.

The addition of scenic ponds throughout the property elevates the whole experience, transforming what could have been just a sports facility into a versatile community space where athletic competition and family recreation come together naturally.
