Lee Bell Park

Where It's At & What You'll Find

Situated in the heart of Fairfield, California, Lee Bell Park sits at the crossroads of Union Avenue and Travis Boulevard. Covering 6.7 acres, it's one of the larger neighborhood parks in the city.

The abundant shaded areas scattered throughout are particularly useful on hot California days.

Get Your Game On

The crown jewel of Lee Bell's athletic offerings is the Lee Bell Women's Softball field - fully fenced, lit up for evening games, complete with bleachers for spectators, and surrounded by ample parking. Local teams often reserve this well-maintained field for their matchups.

Beyond softball, the large field is an all-purpose space where you'll spot everything from impromptu football scrimmages to frisbee sessions. If volleyball's your thing, there's a dedicated court waiting for your next spike, and traditionalists might appreciate the horseshoe pits for a more leisurely form of competition.

Picnics & Open Spaces

When hunger strikes, head to one of the park's picnic areas - available for both intimate gatherings and larger groups. The strategic tree coverage makes outdoor dining comfortable even during warmer months.

One of the park's best features is its expansive grassy area, providing plenty of room to spread out a blanket, toss a ball around, or simply watch the clouds drift by. Each spring, this space transforms for the annual Kiwanis Easter egg hunt, becoming a flurry of excitement for local families.

Kid-Friendly Zones

Little ones have plenty of options at Lee Bell Park, with playgrounds designed specifically for youth and toddlers. The military-themed play area adds a unique twist to the typical playground experience, sparking imagination while burning energy.

The varied play equipment caters to different ages and abilities, making this spot a regular destination for parents looking to let their kids run wild (within reason, of course).

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Though not officially designated as a dog park, you'll see plenty of pups getting their morning walks here, especially during the early hours. Just remember to keep your furry friends on leash - it's the rule and the considerate thing to do.

Good to Know

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6AM to 8PM. While the grounds are generally well-kept, you might want to have a backup plan for restrooms as their availability can be hit-or-miss.

Community Love

Lee Bell Park gets some extra TLC thanks to "Gone for Good", a local group that's adopted the park through Fairfield's Adopt-A-Park program.

This community involvement helps maintain the park for everyone who uses it.
