Athletic Fields & Tennis Courts

Mercer Island has a variety of grass and synthetic turf multi-use athletic fields serving resident and regional programming. The Parks and Recreation Department strives to maximize the use of all athletic field venues, while preserving the park assets. Field allocation prioritizes in-season sports, on-Island users, and recreation-based youth programs.

All City field usage is scheduled though the Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Department. Please view the documents at the bottom of the page for reservation guide, fees and application.
