We attended a tournament here in December and had a blast. Dubuque is a fun town and we went to a Saints game on Saturday. This rink has a small proshop for tape and essentials, you can get your skates sharpened and for open skate they have ice skate rental. I didnt eat at the concession stand but they did have berr and wine plus lots of bar type food. Overall, this is a great facility and we are lucky to have it in Iowa.

Love this place. Free parking. Great staff. Clean arena. Always love to return. Go Saints!read more

The fields are situated at the dead end of a steep, narrow road that leads you to believe this can't be the correct way, right up until it opens up to the facility. There is a large gravel parking lot, but it is laid out very tight making it a bit of a squeeze for everyone to safely get in/out as one set of games concludes and the next begins. There are five fields with all sand infield surfaces. The artificial pitching mounds are rather on the small side. One of the fields is laid out toward a hill and the steep hill is actually part of the outfield. We were on/near fields 1 & 2 all weekend. The bleachers have an aluminum roof over your head for protection from foul balls & as shade from the sun. Reasonably priced concessions and a pretty decent selection of offerings available for purchase. The grounds state "no carry ins" which is par for the course. During our two days the weather was in the high 80's with the humidity even worse. On day one several parents went back and forth to cars for bottles of water for our players and ourselves. The staff monitoring the gate throughout the day did not say a thing about this and for safety in super humid conditions it made sense you would allow your guests to carry in water. On day 2 the person monitoring the gate said "no carry ins" per the owner. There was no free water source available (that I saw at least) inside the park aside for buying it from the concession stand. I get as a business your trying to make money, but c'mon man how about using a little common sense with parents bringing in just water. For as much as I otherwise enjoyed the facility, the handling of the gate on morning two was a major turn off. (Side review: parents if traveling here for a tournament, consider staying at the nearby Best Western. They have a large pool & rec area for parents to gather. They also offer a solid complimentary breakfast to kick start the day.)

Friendly staff and 5 fields which makes it nice for tournaments. However to get there you have to…read moredrive down a fairly narrow road just wide enough for 1 car each way that is in need of repair. In 2016 my kids played fall baseball down there and none of the batting cages where working. This past summer my kids where in tournaments there and they only had 1 batting cage out of 3 working so if you wanted batting practice you would have to wait in a long line. The one year my kids played fall ball down there with their baseball teams they never stuck with the schedule that was made out. The schedule would change between 2-3 times each week and one time they tried changing everyone's schedule the morning of games. Some of us that where there for 8:00 games where told they wanted us to wait until noon for our 1st game. Fields 1-3 have good seating but if your kids are playing on fields 4 or 5 the seating sucks.

They have a rock climbing wall and an American Ninja Worrier area which takes allot of upper body strength.

We did not do the arcade area because they already got enough of my money overall it was clean, nice and we had a great time.

Since we had a heat wave and the temperature broke 40 degrees it was a beautiful day to be outside but not really the best snow to snowshoe in. But in the dead of winter, you have to take warm days when you get them. The Nature Center has snowshoes to rent for free. They have two different sizes for adults and I'm guessing they weren't super high quality snowshoes but they worked fine for us. We went on a Saturday and the selection was fairly picked over and we had to have ours back in 2 hours. You can call and reserve the shoes ahead of time and I would highly recommend doing that on the weekends. The trails were well marked and there were quite a few options for trails to take. There are also cross-country ski trails that are groomed if you are into that. The woman helping us at the nature center thought you could rent cross-country skies from Kunert Sports. We picked a hilly route and although I consider myself in-shape I was huffing and puffing going up the steepest climb. The sites were beautiful and very worth it though.
