Dassel Ballpark
Excitement is often heard from Dassel Ballpark, which is located on Second Street and Linart Avenue, on the north side of Dassel. In the summertime, it is home to the Dassel-Cokato Saints amateur baseball team. The field is also used by youth leagues. Its well-groomed field, bleachers, and scoreboard makes this a popular venue to enjoy America’s favorite pastime. Many people also enjoy tossing horseshoes at the park.
The DC Saints and the DC Baseball Association have worked continuously to improve to Dassel Ball Park for many years, which led to the field being chosen as one of three that will host the 2016 State Amateur Baseball Tournament. In preparation for the tournament, even more improvements are taking place at the ball park throughout the summer.
Concrete walkways have been installed and grass has been planted outside the field along the first baseline. A set of bleachers was also erected for visiting fans. New perimeter fencing has been installed to protect fans from fly balls, and additional drainage tile was added throughout the field last fall.
Along with continuous cosmetic improvements and improvements to the playing surface, a new deck and standing patio will be constructed this summer along the third baseline for Saints fans.
When winter comes, the fun doesn’t stop in Dassel. Open A hockey and skating rink are located on leased land on the south side of town near Industrial Park. There is also a warming house on site.
