Neahwa and Catella Parks in Oneonta

About

Neahwa and Catella Parks in Oneonta is anchored by Neahwa Park, the city’s largest city park and an easy walk from downtown. Neahwa means gift, and the park has plenty to offer, from baseball and softball to skating and summer concerts. It’s a park with something going on in every season.

Historic Damaschke Field, home of the Oneonta Outlaws of the New York Collegiate Baseball League, is the centerpiece, with a second baseball field nearby and Ted Christman Field for lighted softball. Hodges Pond is the setting for the Laskaris Skatehouse, a rentable space that holds up to 60. In winter, a portable ice rink goes up on the tennis courts.
