Revitalizing the park for people and planet.
One park. Seven ponds. Six miles of multiuse trails. Access to nature for over 200,000 residents.
Welcome to D.W. Field Park.
D.W. Field Park is a vibrant city park that serves the community and the environment. We envision a revitalization that will promote and improve recreational opportunities, accessibility, environmental health, and climate resiliency.
