Facility Overview
Stevens Park (often referred to locally as Steven Park) serves as an essential community gathering space and public park facility in the village of Woodville, Wisconsin (St. Croix County). The parking area is an open-air surface lot and adjacent park-side parking bay designed to accommodate visitors enjoying the park\'s outdoor recreational grounds, pavilions, sports diamonds, and playground spaces. Because it is a completely unenclosed outdoor surface area, there are no overhead ceiling restrictions, allowing comfortable access for full-size pickup trucks, SUVs, minivans, high-profile conversion vans, and recreational vehicles towing small utility trailers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking at Stevens Park is completely free of charge and operated on a first-come, first-served basis. During major community events like the annual Norwegian Syttende Mai festival in May or busy summer tournament weekends, the parking spaces closest to the diamonds fill up rapidly, so early arrival is recommended. Winter travelers should note that while the village maintenance crews clear main paths and primary lots, overnight parking may be restricted during municipal snow removal operations.
