About Polo Road Park

Play & Sports Areas

Need a place to kick a ball around or catch some softball action? Polo Road Park offers plenty of options. The park features lighted softball and baseball fields, six lighted soccer fields, and a football field - plenty of space whether you're joining a league game or just tossing a frisbee with friends. It's a solid complex that local sports teams call home.

A nice advantage is the park's location right next to Sesquicentennial State Park, giving you access to hiking trails if you're in the mood to explore. There's also a sidewalk running from the park to the Polo and Alpine Road intersection that makes for a nice workout walk. That incline will definitely get your heart pumping and lungs working!

Indoor Spaces

When the weather doesn't cooperate, head inside the main building where you'll discover a gymnasium, game room, fitness room, and classrooms. These spaces host various community programs and give you options for recreation year-round.

There's also a kitchen facility available, which comes in handy for community events or gatherings.

Kid-Friendly Zone

The park includes a playground that, while not massive, gives the little ones a place to burn off energy while you're walking laps or watching a game. There are swings available, but they might be a bit tall for toddlers, so keep that in mind if you're bringing very young children.

Basics & Bathrooms

Yes, there are restrooms here. They're clean and functional - nothing fancy, but they do the job when nature calls during your park visit.

Why It Matters

Beyond sports facilities, Polo Road Park is a gathering place for people of all ages. The facilities provide opportunities for physical activity and create natural settings to meet your neighbors.

The park's natural setting and proximity to the Sesquicentennial trail make it a good spot for a thoughtful stroll. Spending time here offers a chance to enjoy the outdoors while connecting with the community.
