Have played slow-pitch softball here and fields are well maintained. Boat launch at Shanklin is too. ***Word of caution, if you do plan on visiting nearly any part of Shanklin park, be ready to encounter many Canadian Geese and tons of what they leave behind.*** Goshen Parks are one of the main reasons my family chose to live here and we visit them or take advantage of their programs or services as often as we can.

Best of all is the community-built Tommy's Kids Castle, a large, fun, and well maintained kid's play area. It has areas for larger and smaller kids, baby swings, regular swings, tons of slides and things to climb. Best of all there is a bottleneck in/out which means you can give kids the freedom to explore without worry by sitting near the entrance.

Great ball park! The home team is the South Bend Cubs. The high-a level minor league team for the…read moreChicago Cubs. The park has been recently renovated this past year, and looks incredible. The game activities are fun and they constantly keep the crowd going with games and music and all kinds of Activities. The field is beautiful and the game was awesome. In addition, there is tons of food and drink throughout the stadium. An area for kids to play, shops to go to, bars, activities and concessions. All kinds of things like Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwiches, barbecue sandwiches, popcorn, hotdog, burgers, pretzels. All kinds of baseball food. The baseball was great, the crowds were great, the whole experience was great.

Four Winds Field is an excellent ballpark with something fun for the whole family! In addition to…read morethe game, they have good concessions, a nice Historic gift shop housed in a former Jewish temple, a "fun zone" with bounce houses for the kids, and also a splash pad area. The score board has good grafics & is well used. Hoping for the return of the veggie races & the cream cheese jalapeño burgers . I deducted a star because while it's a 5 star ballpark. It's a one star concert venue. I seen Everclear & STP live here & the sound system was the worse I've ever heard!

Really enjoyed this ballpark. Awesome hometown feel and great prices made this an affordable family…read moredestination. It's clean, open, next door to two hotels and has a bunch of stuff to do for everyone. Team shop is awesome- spent too much up in there though! 20 different types of hats and jerseys and apparel. Bought a sweet hoodie and hat for about $100. Not a bad view in the entire park; obviously they have some suites and some cabanas along the outfield that are nice and private/ shaded. I imagine when it gets hot out, you just cook like their delicious hot dogs in that sun! (The hot dogs were really good!) They also offer a kids zone that you have to pay for and it's nothing too great. Bunch of blow up things to jump on and slide down. Beer garden is no garden. It's just a building in the outfield dead center that serves beer and backs up to the hotels. Will say, dang good beer selection. Yuengling and some Michigan brews too! It's a very comfy little stadium downtown. So much going on it can be hard to follow the game though. And, their food lines are atrocious! Takes FOREVER to get anything of substance food- wise. Two innings or more for a hotdog. Overall it was enjoyable and I'd make it a point to take in a game if headed that way in the country.

This review is for the food only. I usually get two dogs and a Pepsi. That's what goes with…read morebaseball...at least traditionally. The dogs really aren't that good for $4.25. The bun is nicely steamed and soft. The dog is not plump and juicy. It was rather flat and didn't have much meat taste. It was rather plain. You definitely wouldn't accept this off your grill at home. The best items are the tenderloins...on special occasions and the chicken tenders & waffle fries. My wife likes the burrito bowls a lot as they are very Weight Watcher friendly.

The year was 2019, and my parents and I were spending another lovely week in Northern Indiana to…read moreroot on our Irish women's basketball team in the NCAA Tournament. Sadly, our steadfast friends were out of town, but they benevolently let us stay at their place, so everything was comfy and familiar and homey, if a little lonely because of the absence of our gracious hosts. We needed additional stuff to do on the days between games, so I suggested following the St. Joseph River to find out where it starts. On the way (back, I believe), we discovered tiny Bristol, Indiana, and its even tinier Subway, whose bathroom was extremely useful. Near that Subway is Congdon Park, a lovely waterside park right at the confluence of the St. Joseph and Little Elkhart Rivers. The park is cute and quaint and spectacular in its unexpectedness. The location is perfect, but it's not just some random piece of greenery. There's a gazebo and picnic tables and play equipment and some kind of weird deck/pier (for fishing?) and a bench swing. That's right, a bench swing. The grass is pretty well maintained, and there's a nice paved path all around the little park so that you can take a walk without getting mud on your shoes. This would be a five-star deal all the way around except that as we walked south along the shoreline from the bench swing, we were almost instantly swarmed by vicious but ultimately harmless insects--harmless, that is, unless you wanted to avoid breathing them in, because the swarms were huge and relentless. As we ran south, they dissipated a bit, but once we reached the deck/pier, they were back, and this time, they were unbearable. Bugs don't normally frazzle me, but these did. Maybe they only appear at a certain time each year, like the midges that invade Cleveland for a couple of weeks each spring, but it wasn't quite spring yet, so I doubt it. The bugs ruined what had been a perfectly charming park visit, but that's just because we happened to walk east from the parking lot and then head south. If we had gone counterclockwise, things would have been fine. You should visit this park, and you should also try to find the source of the St. Joseph River. Take a picture of you and your sweetie sitting in the bench swing and post it. You know you want to.

Plenty of parking, lots of shady spots. There are some permanent structures with restrooms and space for concessions. On this sunny afternoon, a number of amateur baseball and softball games were underway and a few were getting set up to begin. This is a really neat spot and I stayed to watch one of the games for a bit. [Review 11217 overall, 993 of 2019.]
