Soccer fields are great. Beautifully maintained. Parking is a nightmare. I circled around several times before a spot became open for a 1:00 pm game. If there are more than one tournaments running at a time parking should be directed to specific lots.

Huge sports park with several basketball, tennis, and baseball courts/fields. Most of the baseball fields have their own bathhouses. There is a large pond system in the park that can be fished in. The park also happens to be the best Pokemon go location in the Des Moines area!

The parking lots are a nightmare. One entrance in and out instead of multiple entrances/exits make for long waits to exit and confusion when you enter. This could have been planned better. Narrow parking spots as well. Everyone these days especially when you are talking about kids, sports, carrying sports equipment is diving a truck or SUV..BIG cars in teeny parking spots

Great place for softball tournaments, parking isnt too far from the fields and plenty of space to spread out and watch the games.

I can only speak for the softball part and the baseball parking lot because the day we were there they decided to have softball tournaments and soccer tournaments at the same time and parking was awful. If they are only having one or the other I am sure parking would have been much better. The fields are nice and dugouts were good. They need better/more bathrooms at the softball fields. Not sure if they are better on the soccer and baseball parts of the complex but the softball side was not good.

A great complex that features several sports.

Fields are always top notch. Cant give a 5 star as sometimes staff arent the nicest/friendliest bunch of ppl and parking absolutely sucks. I hope it gets better soon to help w/ the flow of traffic.

Nice park where a snow goose who decided to skip migration and mating season up north for Prarie Ridge Sports Complex!This a no feed the geese or ducks park by request. I only feed them there if I get a message about an injured bird there and there are few that go there that have injuries. None of the injuries documented have been deemed serious enough now to pull these birds out of the wild.

Nice playing fields for softball but concessions were out of alot of food. When you play 4:30 and 6:00 pm games the players need snacks or sandwiches. I had to go to Caseys to get my granddaughter a sandwich. Plus they closed before the last game was over so kids couldnt even get a power ade.

Good setup with plenty of parking. Downside is foul ball territory between the backstops can lead to hospital trips. Pretty live action there.

Very nice sports complex. If you are unfamiliar with the facility, take a little time online to figure out where youre going to park in relationship to where you play. Its huge and extremely well maintained. A real gold star in Ankenys playbook.

We are so lucky to have such a great complex in Ankeny. The baseball diamonds are top notch. Concessions and bathrooms are great too.

Review №43

Great sports complex! We were there for soccer. Nice fields, but some are hard to find unless you see the one small sign pointing back to the fields behind the close ones. The concession area and bathrooms are nice and well maintained, and conveniently next to the playground. Google maps directions took us to the wrong entrance and parking lots do not connect. Luckily I had been here before and knew where I was going, so went around to the entrance on the east side. I like coming here for games!

Nice sports complex with baseball fields and soccer fields. Concessions are inexpensive and well stocked with the exception of no fried pizza pockets which in my opinion is just a travesty.

Review №53

Fields are very nice. Restroom situation is not amazing. Adequate parking although you may have to make a little walk. My biggest complaint...giant black tarps up behind home plate that block a huge section of real estate for fans to watch the game or for picture taking.

It is a first rate facility! We went as a family for 10u All State Showcase Baseball game and was delighted at the high degree of manicure of the fields. There is overhead netting in high traffic areas to protect spectators from foul balls.
