The 7th Street Complex is a 23 acre property on the North End of the City of John Day. Through an agreement with the Grant School District who owns the majority of the facility, Parks and Recreation maintain and manage the facilities and property. The Grant School property consists of two High School Baseball Fields, two Softball Fields and two Little League Baseball Fields. On the West end of the facility there is a 5 acre Open space which includes two beautiful tree lined grass fields. This part of the facility is owned and maintained by Parks and Recreation as well.
There is a small playground and picnic shelter in the center of the Park. Near the Parking Lot is a small fishing pond and dock which can be a wonderful picnic spot during our long summers. On the Southwest corner of the facility you will find two Tennis/Pickleball Courts as well as a full sized Basketball Court.
For the adventurous there is the wonderful Smokey Gibson Skate Park and Picnic Shelter. There are two Restroom/Shower Facilities in the Park, one is located near the Skatepark and the other is in the center of the Park. The Restrooms are closed during the winter but are usually open from March through October. The main parking area can be accessed from 7th Street and is the primary parking area.
During the warmer days of Spring, Summer and Fall the facility is humming with a wide variety of Team Sports. From Grant Union High School Athletic Programs to our own Parks and Recreation Sports Programs, weekday afternoons and evenings can be a lot of fun for even the casual guest to 7th Street.
The 7th Street Complex offers wide open grass fields and open space for the enjoyment of everyone. Surrounding the Park is a paved walking trail that provides a wonderful stroll year round. We hope you visit our Park anytime you get the chance and enjoy our Community Treasure as much as we do:)
The Parks and Recreation Office and Storage facility is also on the West end of 7th Street Complex and can be accessed from Bridge Street. For more information on John Day Canyon City Parks and Recreation you can visit us on Facebook.
The 7th Street Complex is a Tobacco, Drug and Alcohol Free zone that provides our community a safe and family friendly environment.
The facility is open from sunrise to sunset.
