Pasley Park
About Pasley Park
Play Ball and Beyond
With seven baseball fields hosting youth leagues and tournaments throughout the season, Pasley Park is something of a baseball haven in Sioux Falls. The fields are impressively maintained, and the whole complex setup makes game days run smoothly - whether you're playing or just cheering from the sidelines.
Kids can burn off energy at the large playground complete with climbing structures, swings, and slides. There's plenty of open space for little ones to run wild while you take a breather. Clean restrooms, water fountains, and a picnic shelter with electricity make this a practical spot for family outings. During baseball events, you'll discover concessions open if you didn't pack snacks.
Hit the Trails
One of the coolest things about Pasley Park is that it connects directly to the Sioux Falls bike trail system. The recreational path runs along the park's edge, making it super convenient to hop on for a longer ride or walk.
The wide paved trails come with plenty of shade thanks to the mature trees lining the path - a blessing during those hot summer days. If you're cycling and run into minor bike issues, there's even a bike repair station on-site to get you rolling again.
Nature Escape
Nestled along the Big Sioux River Greenway, the park offers some pretty tranquil river views that make you forget you're in the city. If you stick around until dusk, you might catch glimpses of deer emerging from the woods - a little wildlife watching bonus.
The riverside setting creates a peaceful backdrop for your visit, whether you're there for a game or just seeking a quiet moment outdoors.
Off-Road Adventures
More recently, Pasley Park added singletrack mountain biking trails that wind through the wooded areas near the river. These hand-built paths offer about a mile of maintained trails that mountain bikers, runners, and hikers can enjoy year-round. The dirt paths have been cleaned up and made more accessible, creating a nice alternative to the paved trails for those wanting a more rugged experience.
Good to Know
The park is consistently clean and well-maintained, which is always appreciated. If you're planning to attend baseball tournaments or multiple games, you should know that parking can fill up quickly - arriving early saves some headaches.
And yes, your four-legged friends are welcome here, making Pasley Park truly a place the whole family can enjoy together.
