James Price Park

Soccer Haven

Found in Evansville, James Price Park is a local hangout where soccer dreams come to life. This well-kept green space welcomes everyone from sports enthusiasts to families just looking for a breath of fresh air.

The open fields and playgrounds make it a hit with kids and adults alike. The soccer fields here get high marks from regulars - though heads up, some fields might require booking ahead and aren't always available for impromptu kickabouts.

Excellent Facilities

The soccer fields are well-maintained and frequently bustling with both casual players and organized matches. Many locals consider these fields better than what you'll find at other sports complexes in the area.

Near the entrance, you'll come across a recently updated playground that gives kids plenty of room to burn off energy. While there aren't any swings (a minor bummer), the slides and other equipment provide plenty of fun for little ones of all ages. Fair warning: some play equipment might be showing signs of wear and tear.

Fancy a picnic? You're in luck - the park offers plenty of picnic tables scattered throughout, meant for enjoying a sandwich while watching the action on the fields. When nature calls, the public restrooms are generally clean and well-kept, however note they're typically only open during the summer months through October.

Accessibility and Enjoyment

The park designers clearly thought about accessibility, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking areas. Speaking of parking, there's usually enough space to go around, but it can get tight during tournament days or special events.

Dog lovers will appreciate that the park is dog-friendly - just remember to bring a leash for your four-legged friend. Beyond soccer, there's space for kids to ride bikes, skateboard, or roller skate, making it a versatile spot for all kinds of outdoor fun.

Looking to get some steps in? The park offers decent walking paths where you can knock out a few laps while enjoying the scenery. At its heart, James Price Park is simply a friendly, welcoming space - no matter if you're there to cheer on a soccer match, let the kids play, or just enjoy some quiet time outdoors.
