Olio Fields

This park is mainly a series of softball fields east of Fishers. There are lots of fields and a centrally located playground and concession area. If you go on a day when there isn't a game, the parking looks endless along the main road that runs through the park. However, if you think about how many kids are involved in a single game and how many parents drive to watch them, you can see forty spots (probably more) for each field being used. With multiple games occurring at a time and with the "nose in" style parking, finding a place, dodging pedestrians who are carrying stadium seats and coolers, well, you can imagine it's tough finding a spot and tough backing out.Parking at the nearby school is an option, but carrying lots of equipment, back supports, and other items can get heavy.Review #2716

Olio Fields is a series of ball fields (softball, baseball) directly southest of Hamilton Southeastern high school and falls in the jurisdiction of the Fishers parks department. The fields and dugout are well maintained and there are several batting cages you can use. Additionally there is an out building and playground.But oy parking...what a mess. In ball season...if you want to park near the fields forget it. It is a complete clusterbomb of cars wherever. Seriously bad planning on the part of the parks department. Presumably you can park at the high school and walk (maybe that was the intent?) but they rope off the soccer field just north and it's a bit of a hike. And I didn't see anyone walking from there...they were just trying to get situated closer to the fields.All in all...a nice entry to the parks department that is IMO packed in an area way too small for intended use.

I have games there and it is amazing the sand is nice and the grass is soft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
