While residents understand that it is hard work that makes the community prosperous, they encourage visitors to join them at the many recreational facilities within the community.

The Prospect League baseball team, the Dubois County Bombers, calls League Stadium at the Huntingburg City Park home.  A walking path intertwines itself among the many amenities at the City Park, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, swimming pool, shelter houses, horseshoe pitches, and playground equipment.

The Huntingburg Parks and Recreation Department consists of three (3) parks.

HUNTINGBURG CITY PARK is located at First and Cherry Streets. It is a 40 acre park with facilities for all age groups. Facilities include the following:

SOUTHSIDE PARK is located on South Park Drive and is a 14 acre park established in 1979, that includes:

 The Huntingburg City Park has public restrooms located in several areas.  The main restroom is located north of League Stadium.  Public restrooms are available north of the Little League field.  The south restroom is located near the southeast shelter.  Other restrooms include: the swimming pool patrons, men’s softball field, and League Stadium during games.  Southside Park has one public restroom, and  Niehaus Park has one restroom.  All restroom facilities are closed during the winter months.  There is no heating available in the restroom facilities.

  Updates to the parks are made throughout the calendar year.  Updates for this year include: 400' of curb and gutters on First Street, upgrades to the City Park walking trail, Splash Park, playround updates, and a special needs lift for the swimming pool.  Southside Park has a new backstop on the practice ball field and baseball field, upgrades are planned for the large baseball field at Southside Park.  Niehaus Park has a new paved driveway, a restroom has been added, new benches, and Bermuda grass sown on the golf driving range.

League Stadium, damaged during last April's storm has been reparied and refurbished.  The old scoreboard has been rebuilt, dugouts remodeled, new backstop netting, and interior and exterior painting on the facility.

  City of Huntingburg residents, through the City property taxes, make a significant financial contribution to the operation of the Parks system.  Non-resident fees are charged to apportion an equalizing fee to non-resident participants so that they can contribute to the overall financing of the Parks system on an equitable basis with City residents.  Fees are listed separately for Huntingburg residents and out of City residents for some programs.  Verification of residence status may be requested.

  The City of Huntingburg is not responsible for any injuries sustained as a result of participation in any recreational department sponsored activities, or while using recreation department facilities.  It is recommended that anyone enrolled in a program or using the facilities make provisions for adequate coverage within their own insurance plan.
