Description
Union Park’s 13.77 acres contain flexible indoor and outdoor spaces right by the Ashland transit stop. Indoor facilities include a fieldhouse with a theater stage and a separate building for a gymnasium and fitness center. Outside, basketball courts, baseball fields, a playground, and a multi-use athletic field spread across the grounds. The broad footprint allows for a split setup during events, accommodating festivals or concerts on one side while preserving space for picnics and quiet downtime on the other.
