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.

  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.
