Joe Dancer Park

I love this park. It is a massive outdoor space. The grass is regularly mowed. I've played and coached soccer on it for 5 years now. It's wonderful to have a nice space for soccer.

The play structure is huge and fun. The skate park looks nice.

It looks like they are regularly battling homeless vans and motorhomes which move around the parking lot.

Beautiful place, Frisbee golf course and on site Frisbee golf store with a super friendly owner. Tell him Rusty sent you and get a 3 disk starter pack deal. Will definitely frequent this park.

We saw the total solar eclipse at this park and got a photo of it! 2017 at this park will definitely be in my memory forever. It was amazing. The place is kept green and clean. One of the nicest parks I have been too.

Quite extraordinary of a park. It has everything for everybody. Nature trails to hike, sports fields, playgrounds, what a awesome find. Even a old hobo memorial(I guess, check pics) and a cool little skate park ...what a blast.

I ❤ movies in Joe Dancer park after dark!!! Big screen great sound and a lot of fun activities for the the kids to do before the fun flicks start at dusk ..!!! In fact I got a free Covid shot last year before watching the goonies with my family

Nice park with a whole lotta ball fields. There's also a short trail along the river, an ok skateboard park, and massive play structure. Seriously, it's huge and awesome. It's the biggest one I've ever seen. Well until a fellow dad there told me about the one over at Discovery Park across town (which also has a splash pad). Both of them are so nice it's worth driving all the way down from Portland to visit if you have kids.

One thing to note at Joe Dancer park is that they apparently close off access to the interior roads and parking lots during the winter. At least that was my experience when I visited in early March. So the only parking is at the first lot, which is pretty small (can fit 15 or so cars max). Not sure why they do that but be aware.

Super nice fields, like 10 or 11 to choose from, track 3 or 4 playgrounds tons of parking right in the heart of McMinnville! Had our daughters t ball game there & its beautiful with hella parking.

great place to get your steps in..this time of year can be a little muddy..wear something sturdy.

Beautiful park, fields of grass for sports, a little play ground, surrounding Forrest to explore!

It's got great trail that goes through the woods and around all the fields. It's just over 1.5 miles

There are many different fields for many different sports. I have attended soccer and baseball games here. All of the fields are marked clearly, and there are signs that lead to the fields. Porta potties are also found throughout.

Nice park with lots of room to roam. Mostly level paths along the borders are good for walking. Some paths go tot he river bank. Park has restrooms, skate park, playground, plenty of parking, fields for football, soccer, etc.

Love this park! I go just to walk - great trail for an easy 2 mile walk, a lot of things to look at and a lot of smells for the dog to sniff. You can get off the trail at any point if you've had enough. There are several softball & soccer fields plus a playground & picnic tables. It's great!

Awesome park!!! Adult and kid friendly. Really pretty scenery.

I'm relatively new to the area and have only just been to this park recently. It's huge compared to the parks I'm used too, but easy to find your way around. Well kept fields for baseball, soccer and probably more sports, a skate park and a nice play structure. All in all, it's great for me and my 3 kids sunce there is a little something for everyone.

I love this big nature park! 🙂

I nanny an artistic 10-year-old and we go here at least every other day, she loves it. There is plenty of space to run around and a big play structure. The grass is very green and perfect for picnics or just simply lounging in.

Really cool hole in the wall type of place, but all of the parks around here are unique

Best all-purpose Park in McMinnville. Huge open field big enough for multiple team sports playing at the same time, the skate park, softball fields, fairly long running trail surrounding the entire park, river access, blackberry picking in the fall, medium sized kid play structure. Really just an excellent community resource. I am so happy McMinnville has made parks a priority!

Huge open area park. Baseball fields, skate park, room for soccer. No bbx and not many play structures.
