Q: What is Kasch Park in Everett?
A: Kasch Park is the City of Everett’s premier athletic complex, located at 8811 Airport Road in the Westmont area of south Everett. It features four lighted multi-sport synthetic-turf fields, a four-field lighted softball complex, one Little League field, basketball courts, a Weevos-style playground, picnic shelters, restrooms, and walking trails. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and connects via trail to the nearby Loganberry Lane Dog Park.
Kasch Park is the south Everett athletic complex everyone in town has played at — even if they did not know its name
Kasch Park sits on Airport Road just past the Boeing fence line, inside the Westmont area of south Everett. If you have ever played adult-league soccer in Snohomish County, watched a kid’s softball tournament under the lights, or pushed a stroller through a quiet weekend afternoon while teenagers ran a flag-football scrimmage, there is a strong chance you have been here. It is the kind of public park that becomes invisible because it works. The fields show up on hundreds of league schedules every year. The playground stays full on summer weekends. The parking lot empties at 10 p.m. and refills at 6 a.m. the next morning, every day, year-round.
And quietly, over the last few years, it has become a much better park than most south-Everett residents realize. Here is what makes Kasch Park the city’s premier athletic complex, what got upgraded recently, and what locals should know before their next visit.
The basics: address, hours, parking
Address: 8811 Airport Road, Everett, WA 98204
Hours: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily
Parking: Free, ample on-site lot
The park sits between Airport Road and 100th Street SW, a quick drive from Boulevard Bluffs, Pinehurst-Beverly Park, Glacier View, and Westmont — and convenient to Boeing, Paine Field, and the Cascade High School zone for Casino Road and Pinehurst families.
What Kasch Park has — by the field
Kasch Park is the City of Everett’s flagship athletic facility. The amenity list is long enough that it is worth grouping by use case.
Multi-sport turf fields. Four lighted, synthetic-turf fields sized for soccer but lined for multiple sports. After the most recent surface replacement, the fields are now playable for soccer, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, flag football, and kickball. The lights mean evening league play continues year-round; the synthetic turf means rain rarely cancels a game.
Softball complex. A four-field lighted softball complex with bleachers anchors the eastern half of the park. This is where most of Everett’s adult coed leagues, men’s leagues, and tournament play happens. Under a recent management agreement with NWS Holdings, the previously dirt infields on softball fields one through four are being upgraded with turf surfacing, additional fencing, and safety netting — improvements that bring the complex closer to tournament-grade specification.
Little League field. One dedicated Little League diamond serves the park’s youth baseball programming.
Basketball courts. Outdoor courts available for casual pickup play.
Playground. The park’s playground, designed and built by PlayCreation, features a Weevos-brand structure with a Cozy Coaster Slide, Wee Pod Climber, and Boppity Bridge — the kind of contemporary play equipment designed for both motor-skill development and durability. Restrooms are immediately adjacent.
Picnic shelter. A reservable picnic shelter is available through the City of Everett’s facilities reservation system at everettwa.gov.
Walking trail. A short on-site loop connects the parking, playground, fields, and the trail spur that links to nearby Loganberry Lane Dog Park.
Restrooms. Permanent restroom facilities are available on the playground side; portable toilets supplement the field areas during peak league season.
Recent upgrades: what changed and why it matters
The biggest change in the last few years has been the synthetic-turf replacement on the multi-sport fields. The original turf had aged out of safe play; the replacement re-lined the fields for soccer plus multiple secondary sports, expanding the park’s usable league bookings dramatically. The Wildlife Recreation Coalition lists the project among its supported recreation grants for the region.
The second change is the softball management partnership. NWS Holdings now manages softball fields one through four under an agreement with the City of Everett, with infield turf upgrades, fencing improvements, and additional safety netting in progress. For league players, the difference is noticeable: fewer rainouts on dirt infields, better backstop coverage for tournaments, and a more consistent maintenance cadence.
What has not changed: dogs are still prohibited from all field areas. The trail connection to Loganberry Lane Dog Park gives dog owners a nearby alternative for off-leash play.
Who actually uses Kasch Park
If you visit on a weekday evening between April and October, the parking lot will be mostly league players — adult coed soccer, men’s softball, kickball nights, and the occasional ultimate frisbee tournament. Weekend mornings tilt toward youth: Little League, youth soccer, and the occasional flag-football clinic. Weekday afternoons before 5 p.m. lean stroller crowd — the playground area is genuinely well-shaded in the summer and the layout works for parents with multiple kids of different ages.
For visitors driving in from outside south Everett, the park is also a reliable rainy-day option. The combination of synthetic turf and field lights means scheduled play continues through Pacific Northwest spring weather that would shut down a grass-field park entirely.
How to book a field or shelter
The City of Everett handles all field reservations through the Parks Department. Reservations open seasonally; the most popular weekend slots fill quickly. Field permits are typically required for any organized group play of more than a casual pickup game. Picnic shelter reservations follow the same process. Both can be initiated through everettwa.gov/parks.
NWS Holdings handles the softball-fields-one-through-four scheduling separately under its management agreement. League organizers should reach out through the City Parks office for the current contact path.
Why Kasch Park belongs on every south Everett family’s short list
The Everett park system has more famous names — Forest Park draws the headlines, Howarth gets the Instagram shots, Sullivan at Silver Lake has the destination amenity, Garfield is the playground showpiece. Kasch is none of those things. It is the working park. It is where Everett actually plays. And after the recent turf and softball-field upgrades, the working park works even better than it used to. For families in Westmont, Boulevard Bluffs, Pinehurst-Beverly Park, Glacier View, and Twin Creeks, Kasch Park is probably the single most-used piece of public infrastructure in the neighborhood. It is worth knowing the address, the hours, and the booking process the next time a Saturday plan goes sideways and the kids need a field.
