Upgraded and renovated in 2010, Haley Park is a historic, multi-use facility that has long been the summer sporting hub of Greater Trail. Haley Park has the best track and field facility in the West Kootenays featuring a 400 meter regulation 8-lane athletics track, as well as other full track and field amenities (Long Jump, Pole Vault, Steeplechase, Javelin, Hammer, Clay Shot Put Pit and Discus). In the center of the track is a regulation natural grass soccer pitch with up to six nets available for full or half field play.
Adjacent to the track and field complex are 3 regulation sized softball diamonds for slow-pitch or fastball. Two of the natural grass fields are fully lit for night play and all fields have fully covered dugouts.
Haley Park is connected with a series of paved walkways connecting the track, ball fields, children’s play area and numerous grassy seating or picnic areas which makes it a natural layout for tournaments and large events. In the centre of the park are the food concession and change room buildings, complete with one officials room and male and female change areas/washrooms.
Haley Park is located several hundred meters higher than downtown Trail and therefore enjoys a slightly cooler climate which is ideal for summer sports. The park also has dominant views of Lake Mountain and the river banks of the Columbia River.
