Facility Overview
The Steed Park North Parking Lot is a spacious, open-air municipal surface lot serving Steed Park, one of the premier recreational sports and community hubs in Clearfield, Utah. Positioned along 1000 West at approximately 550 North, this lot provides immediate, grade-level access to the northern perimeter of the park, including its lighted baseball and softball diamonds, multi-purpose athletic turf, and paved trail loops. Because it is an unobstructed outdoor surface facility with no overhead barriers or height restriction structures, it easily accommodates a broad range of passenger vehicles, including lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with roof cargo boxes or bicycle racks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During spring and summer weekend tournaments, parking stalls directly adjacent to the main ballfields can fill up rapidly between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM; planning an early arrival ensures an easy park-and-walk experience. While municipal parking is free and open to all park patrons, Clearfield City strictly enforces overnight parking restrictions and standard park curfew hours (typically closing at 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM). Ensure all personal belongings and sporting gear are secured out of sight to guarantee a safe and worry-free outing.
