About the Location
A Slice of Community Life
Located in a residential corner of Evansville, Golfmoor Park offers a refreshing escape without having to venture far from home. This green space functions as the neighborhood's collective backyard, where community life takes place among leafy trees and open spaces.
The well-kept grounds invite you to slow down a bit - whether that means spreading out a picnic blanket, taking a leisurely afternoon walk, or simply finding a quiet spot to sit and watch the clouds drift by. There's something wonderfully calming about spending time here, away from the constant buzz of city life.
Get Your Game On
If you're looking to break a sweat, Golfmoor offers several options. The park has tennis courts and basketball courts that see plenty of friendly competition throughout the warmer months. Handball enthusiasts will also find their niche here, with dedicated facilities that aren't commonly found at every local park.
The baseball fields are central to Golfmoor's character. During baseball season, these diamonds become busy with local teams playing while families cheer from the sidelines. Fair warning: tournament days bring quite the crowd (even if finding parking becomes a bit of an adventure).
Cast a Line
Many locals know this spot as Silver Lake, and for good reason. The fishing here offers a peaceful retreat for anglers of all skill levels. The waters are primarily home to bluegill and pan fish, however patient fishers might also reel in some catfish or largemouth bass. It's not uncommon to see folks stationed along the shoreline from dawn till dusk, fishing poles in hand, enjoying the simple pleasure of waiting for the next bite.
The Neighborhood's Living Room
While Golfmoor Park isn't the largest or most feature-filled, it has a distinct community feel. This is where neighborhood kids learn to ride bikes, where families gather for impromptu weekend games, and where many Evansville residents have created memories over the years.
The park is a natural meeting point that strengthens community bonds, offering a shared space where neighbors become friends and where the simple joys of outdoor recreation bring people together.
Before You Visit
You'll find restroom facilities available, with additional portable toilets appearing during larger events and baseball tournaments. Note that parking can be tight when the park is hosting games or events - you might need to park on surrounding streets and walk a short distance. But honestly, that extra stroll just adds to the neighborhood charm of the whole experience.
