The park is nestled against the Columbia Gorge Community College at the top of the town.

Batter up! Kramer fields is home to many a game. Little league, mixed teams, you name it. This facility is used for some of the best baseball tournaments in the state. Often times inclement weather in the Portland Metro area will cause their teams to play on sunny The Dalles fields!

Thompson Park is home to the public swimming pool. Plans are in development for an aquatic center with an indoor pool for year-round use.

Relax, enjoy the view and the services at any of these sites. Northern Wasco County Park and Recreation also provides a number of programs year round.
