Facility Overview

The Memorial Park Parking Lot at 1275 Tullar Road serves as the primary parking hub for Neenah\'s premier multi-use community park. Spread across an expansive open-air asphalt surface lot, the facility offers generous parking bays designed to accommodate high volumes of family and athletic traffic. Because it is a ground-level, open-air lot with no overhead barriers, parking is accessible for all standard passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, SUVs, and recreation haulers such as vehicles transporting sports gear or roof-mounted bicycles. Wide driving aisles allow for smooth two-way navigation, making maneuvering and parking stress-free even during busy league game days and weekend festivals.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Memorial Park is Neenah’s largest and most comprehensive municipal recreational area, covering over 120 scenic acres. Visitors parking here enjoy immediate access to an extensive range of park amenities and community attractions:

• Memorial Park Athletic Complex: Direct steps to baseball and softball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and volleyball courts hosting youth and adult Fox Cities leagues.
• Neenah Ice Rink & Sledding Hill: In the winter months, visitors park here for outdoor ice skating, hockey, and sledding on the park’s illuminated hill.
• Children’s Playgrounds & Splash Pad: Family-friendly recreational zones located within a 2- to 4-minute walk from the central parking bays.
• Park Pavilions & Walking Trails: Easy trailheads connecting to paved multi-use fitness trails that wind through woodlands, prairies, and picnic shelters throughout the park grounds.
• Neenah High School & Local Commercial Corridor: Minutes from central Neenah shopping, dining along Winneconne Avenue (Highway 114), and Downtown Neenah (under a 7-minute drive away).

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The parking lot is readily accessible directly off Tullar Road, a major north-south arterial in Neenah. Its location offers exceptionally swift connectivity to Interstate 41 (I-41) via either the Winneconne Avenue (WIS 114) or Breezewood Lane exits, making it simple to reach from Appleton, Oshkosh, and the greater Fox Cities metropolitan area. Multiple driveway entrances and clearly marked turn lanes ease congestion during peak tournament drop-offs and weekend league changeovers. While the primary mode of travel to Memorial Park is by private vehicle, the park is integrated into local bicycle corridors and connects to nearby Valley Transit bus routes serving the Neenah-Menasha community.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During spring and summer weekend tournaments, parking stalls directly adjacent to the main ball fields fill quickly; arriving 20 to 30 minutes prior to scheduled game times ensures easy spot selection. In the winter, dress warmly as the open-air layout leaves cars exposed to Fox Valley winds, though the close proximity of the parking bays allows for quick warm-up retreats between sled runs or skating sessions. Park hours run daily from early morning until 10:00 PM; overnight parking is prohibited without prior city municipal permits.
