Needham Memorial Park

"Very nice park but to have a soccer tournament there the grass should have been cut way too long"

"It's very nice, but if you're the away team and there for soccer, be warned, the hometown refs are just as corrupt as the billicheat patriots."

"Beautiful clean and well-maintained fields and walking/running path. By Town ordinance no dogs allowed either on or off leash."

"This was a beautiful park we visited for my son's soccer tournament on Memorial Day weekend. The park was packed as there were MANY teams playing at or around the same time and the parking lot was a mess. When you pulled in there was a one way street you had to follow with parking lots full of cars. There were some high school attendants making a lackluster effort at trying to keep things smooth but nothing was smooth whatsoever. There was a parking lot straight ahead of you when you pulled in that you could literally see there were about 8-10 spots available. But they blocked these off and when approached to ask to park there I was told they were handicapped. I then went over and looked for any handicapped placards. There were maybe 3 out of the 20 or so cars there. Nevertheless the attendants had us loop around one way while weaving out of the way of other drivers going the wrong way on a one way as if the rules don't apply to them and with little direction from the high schoolers. After driving completely off course and about half a mile away from the soccer fields we decided to do another loop. This time there werent attendants at the first 'Do Not Enter' lot so I squeezed in and parked next to another non handicapped car. Then someone behind me followed suit and by then the High School Attendant was back and told the car behind me it was fine. Don't worry about it. What a mess! The second day there was worse but this day we parked in the second row by expanding the barriers out 1 foot to park. We had no choice if we didn't want to miss our child's soccer game. Again, nobody cared. Now on to the things that matter. The fields were beautiful and actually kept pretty clean considering the number of people there. I believe there is a small jungle gym to have the littles play on if they are bored. The only thing that was tough was the heat. (obviously out of your control) but the turf was radiating so much heat you could have cooked some eggs on it! So if you are headed there on a hot day be sure to bring lots of water and stay hydrated. I saw a lot of kids getting very tired after a few games! Overall, great looking fields with some bleachers though you may want to bring your own chair. It's up to you!"
