The Dassel baseball facility, north on Second Street, contains one of the area’s finest baseball fields, and was host to the 2005 state amateur baseball tournament.

Sellards Park, a residential neighborhood park, is a favorite gathering place for small children to enjoy the playground.

The north end of Spring Lake is home to the Spring Lake County Park with launch ramp, fishing pier, and picnic and athletic facilities.

New park areas in new neighborhoods are emerging as families continue to choose Dassel to call home.

A renovated old-fashioned bandstand graces Dassel’s Bandstand Park, which is the site of many community activities. Picnic tables and children’s play equipment are also available in this small park on Atlantic Avenue and Fourth Street.

The sounds of cheering fans often roar on summer nights when members of the DC Saints, the local men’s amateur baseball team, step up to bat at the Dassel Ballpark, located on Second Street and Linart Avenue, on the north side of Dassel. The field is well-groomed, with a scoreboard and modern lighting. The field is also used by youth leagues. A new grandstand is a welcome addition.

Horseshoe tossing is also a sport enjoyed by many at the park.

Wintertime fun begins when water freezes to ice on the hockey and open skating rinks on leased land on the south side of town. There is a warming house on site.
