Detert Park

Rachel Cargill

Nice & clean grounds. Plenty of shade trees. There were a few picnic tables. Suggest the concrete stage upgrade with a large gazebo to give music performers necessary shade from pounding blazing sun.

Great place to hang out with family and friends. Lovely trees for shade. Playground for the kids. Public restrooms available too.

Here in the Gold Rush town of Jackson California is Detert Park. The central element is a Little League field that sees heavy use as a Softball Field. The facility sits on the east side of California State Route 49. Overall the facility is clean and well designed with public bathrooms and a snack bar. The local Rotary is responsible for the public facility. The ball field is tight at 175 feet making for easy home runs. On a personal experience I did witness a girl smash a ball out of the park over the snack bar! The field does have a functioning score board and is lit for evening games. Seating is provided with two Grand Stands. Home and visitor dugout are covered. Parking is tight but there is plenty of space overall to handle 4 teams. The caveat is many spaces are up against the field fence putting many windshields in direct danger of home run smashes. I did not witness any during our tournament however a couple cars were hit on their roofs. The facility also sports a small skate board park and Tennis court. The tennis court is lit, the skate board park is not. Detert Park sits just north of Old Town Jackson and overlooks the historical Cemetery with chapel that does have a working bell tower . Enjoyable experience in Gold Country for some High School Fast Pitch Softball.

Park is great. Lots of stuff for kids of all ages. Lots of play structures, a tall slide and swings. Its behind the pool. Only downfall is the homeless hanging around, but they kept to themselves. There is a restroom but I didn't check it out because the homeless seem to use it.p
