Abrams Park Master Plan

Abrams Park offers many options for recreation and is rich in Ridgefield history. As the city continues to grow, there is a vital need to update existing city parks, such as Abrams, to better serve our community now and into the future. In 2024 the City of Ridgefield, using community input, developed a Master Plan that outlines a long-term vision for Abrams park.

Existing Conditions

Abrams is located at the end of Division Street off of N 5th Avenue near Union Ridge Elementary School. This 40-acre park features a two children's play areas, trail system, horseshoe pit, baseball, softball and soccer fields, a nature play area, 9 hole disc golf course, an orienteering course and a large area for playing volleyball. The Park also has a picnic shelter, plaza, and stage, with tables and kitchen facilities by reservation only. The park is also home to several annual community events and is actively used by Ridgefield Little League.

The property was deeded to the city in 1910 by D.K. Abrams and has featured baseball fields since the 1950s.
