Stockwell Park

Your Neighborhood Retreat

Positioned in the heart of Evansville, Indiana, Stockwell Park is that perfect piece of green space where the community comes together. This welcoming park blends into its neighborhood setting with a laid-back vibe that makes everyone feel at home.

What we love about this place is how it caters to different moods - whether you're looking to break a sweat on the sports fields or just wanting to unwind with a good book under a tree. The park has received recent updates, including new picnic tables and improved waste bins - practical additions that enhance your visit.

Game On: Sports Spaces

A highlight of Stockwell's athletic offerings is its brand-new futsal court, which opened in 2024. It's professional-sized and came to life through a cool collaboration between local organizations and community members who wanted to create something special. The court has a friendly atmosphere where people from all backgrounds come to play.

Before the futsal court, the park was already known for its soccer fields, but this renovation of the old tennis courts has made Stockwell popular among soccer enthusiasts across Evansville.

Kid-Friendly Fun

If you've got little ones in tow, the playground area won't disappoint. It features two playsets, two sets of swings, and some metal climbing structures that keep kids entertained for hours. The ground is covered with a rock surface that helps with drainage after those spring showers.

A heads-up for summer visits - that rock surface and metal equipment can get pretty toasty under the Indiana sun. Morning playdates are your best bet during hot months. Also worth noting: the playground next door belongs to the school and isn't open to the public until after 6pm on weekdays due to afterschool programs running there.

Cultural Heart

Stockwell Park holds a special place in Evansville's cultural landscape, particularly within the Latino community, who affectionately know the broader area as "Parque Latino."

More to Enjoy

Beyond the flashy new futsal court, you'll find classic park amenities like tennis courts and picnic areas with tables scattered within the grounds. Portable restrooms are available when nature calls.

The park's open layout makes it well-suited for impromptu gatherings or organized community events. The park's accessibility and versatility make it a valued neighborhood space where people connect throughout the year.
