We've been coming here since 2012 for all the sports! My oldest daughter started playing soccer…read morehere and both my oldest and youngest have played softball here. There are four fields together and an additional field farther out. A great concession stand and bathroom located in the front of the park with lots of parking. Tonight was the first game for my youngest daughter this season and it feels great to be back at the ball fields!

First and foremost, it is what the name says. They have five softball/baseball diamonds with a…read morecovered pavilion seating area in between and multiple soccer fields. There is also a playground area, batting cages, bocce courts(!), and a pond with a trail. You'll often see someone fishing along the side of the pond (by a gazebo), lots of walkers and joggers, and the many parents and children using the fields. For those attending sporting events, there is a small concession stand and indoor bathrooms as well. Parking is plentiful. My main interaction with the park is from many walks around the trail or biking through as it connects to the larger bike trail system, and it's ideal for both! It's a wonderful place for a stroll in the evening to unwind from the day.

I'm not sure how anyone could give the Field of Dreams anything less than five stars! I was making…read morea trip to Minnesota and made sure time would allow for a Field of Dreams stop. We arrived around 11 AM on a Saturday. I had already made my reservations for noon to tour the farmhouse. Upon arrival, we made the $20.00 donation. I'm not sure it's required but it was a worthwhile donation. We immediately went to the gift shop (very expensive) and got my MLB passport stamped. From there we proceeded to the field and walked around. After we walked around (corn is only a few inches off the ground), I grabbed two gloves and a ball. My wife and I played catch in the outfield then I went to first base. Playing catch on the field is magical. It was memorable playing out there with the kids and everyone just soaking in the experience. The farmhouse is worth seeing. It's 20.00 per person and about a 30 minute tour. You don't go upstairs (it is available for rent) but the guide shared a lot of stories from the movie and MLB expanding the games here. Overall if you're a baseball fan you need this experience. It is truly magical and surreal. It's as close to heaven as you will experience in Iowa.

They built it and we came. If you're traveling around the Dubuque area, I would definitely go out…read moreof your way to come to the field of dreams. It's about a twenty five minute ride from Dubuque. Upon arriving at the field , you stop at a little gatehouse where they collect a twenty dollar donation. I'm not sure if the donation is mandatory , but we did receive four pins for the field of dreams , which cost ten dollars at the gift shop. So obviously the donation was worth it. I came with my wife and my mom and aunt who are older ladies. They obviously did not want to get out on the field and play. If you're coming here with younger children or even teenagers or high schoolers, it's an absolutely magical experience to go out on the field and throw the ball around , make some pitches or even hit the ball. Gloves, bats and balls are all provided for you if you did not bring your own equipment. A group of younger kids were having the time of their life running around the bases and playing with their family. Ideally, you would like to come here in later months of the summer, when the corn is much higher. It definitely would add to the experience of coming here. The farmhouse, located on the property costs $20 a person to tour it and happens every half hour. We decided to skip that part of the experience. On-site is a bar-and-grill, a gift shop and a small stand that sells brats , hot dogs and ice cream. Stuff inside the gift shop is rather pricey. We had eaten lunch prior to coming here so we skipped out on any of the food options. The whole experience we probably spent about thirty minutes here. Really cool experience.I would definitely bring my grandkids here one day in the future , after I had shown them the movie.

Triple Play Park is probably one of the best youth ball field complexes in the Iowa City/ Cedar…read moreRapids area. Period. End of story. I played here as a kid and they really have made some great changes to the original four fields since! (I believe these were made around 2020- when the CR Reds baseball/softball organization took over this site.) The infields were completely redone and the back-stops were replaced with a 30' tall netting. There are new dugouts and the concession area was updated. Finally (while I think they should have added stalls) the restrooms are updated and clean. There's a playground area for the kids as well as batting cages. But the most impressive thing about Triple Play Park is the addition of Dinger Plaza. My 10U team played here this past weekend and what a nice field. It rained cats and dogs the night before, but you'd have never known that. These two new fields are geared toward younger teams and I think they're a great size-- home runs are possible for a ten year old which is crazy. (My only qualm is how close the backstop is to home.) There's plenty of parking. It's continently across the street from Casey's and down the street from Edith Lucielle's Bait Shack & Wing Depot. I like playing closer to home but if I need to make the drive to CR-- I hope it's to Triple Play Park!

When I heard the Palestra opened-- I got pretty excited! Our community definitely had a need for…read moregym space and its North Liberty location is super convenient. The Palestra has four courts-- for basketball or volleyball with a handful of batting cages and pickleball courts! You can conveniently rent courts online. We were in a tournament run by the Palestra this past weekend. I'm knocking a star off this review because there were a handful of things I'd have done differently in regards to the tournament planning. (Notably; we were at TWO locations for the tournament vs one, our games were super duper late and finally, we had to provide a parent to run the scoreboard.) The Palestra is a great addition to the area!!
