Forest Grove is a gold-medal destination with
affordable and accessible sports venues for
participants and fans alike,
thanks to a unique
partnership between the city’s parks department, Pacific
University and the local school district.
Lincoln Park Stadium
is a newly renovated multi-
sport facility next to the Pacific University Campus.
The city-owned facility is at the heart of Forest Grove’s
Athletic District, open to both college athletes and the
public, and features a lighted, all-weather FieldTurf
surface for soccer, lacrosse and track and field. This
facility includes one of only two 9-lane all-weather
tracks in the Northwest and seating for 1,000 fans.
The Forest Grove Aquatic Center
features a 25-yard
by 25-meter indoor pool, a therapy pool, sauna and spa. The
city-owned facility also includes an outdoor splash park,
locker rooms, diving board and large and small water slides
for children.
Throughout the city you’ll find dozens of well-
kept soccer, baseball and softball fields, as well as
public tennis and basketball courts.
It’s no wonder
that Forest Grove plays host to several high-profile regional
athletic events, including Junior League World Series
Baseball, Portland Timbers soccer camps and various Oregon
high school playoff contests. The Stoller Center at Pacific
University is a 95,000 square-foot athletic center housing three
basketball/volleyball courts, a weight and fitness room, three
racquetball courts, saunas and a 15,000 square-foot
field house.
