Ely City Park at north end of Hillcrest Street. This park is a “work in progress” offering several acres of open area, a pond and even a parking lot for your convenience, with a ball diamond in construction. Many events for Ely Fall Fest are held here, most notably Ely’s famous Kickball Tournament.  This park is great to enjoy open air, play some ball or just wandering about.
