WILDERNESS PARK SOCCER COMPLEX
Columbus is home to some of the nicest natural grass soccer fields in all of Nebraska. Located just south of Lost Creek Parkway on 18th Avenue, Our facility features parking on the entire east and north sides of the complex for easy access to all of our soccer fields. Our concession stand and restrooms are centrally located on the complex, and we'll have additional portable restrooms available during the tournament.
PAWNEE PARK MEMORIAL STADIUM
Directions to Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium
Located in Pawnee Park in south Columbus, Memorial Stadium was recently resurfaced with brand new artificial turf. At that time, lines were added to allow the facility to now host 11v11 soccer games.
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
If you are heading to Columbus on Highway 30 from the east toward Wilderness Park, you will want to turn north at East 6th Avenue (on the west side of Wal-Mart) to get to our soccer complex. This road becomes Lost Creek Parkway and will take you to our soccer complex. Just turn south at the light when you reach 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road.
If you are heading to Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium from the east, you'll want to turn south at 3rd Avenue and 23rd Street (Highway 30). Take 3rd Avenue south to 8th Street, and turn right. Take 8th Street west across town to reach Pawnee Park.
If you are coming into Columbus from the south, take 33rd Avenue north to 38th Street. Head east on 38th Street until you reach 18th Avenue, and turn left (north). Our complex will be on your left. Pawnee Park Memorial Stadium is located on the south side of town and will be on your left as you enter Columbus from the south.
If you are coming into Columbus from the west on Highway 81, you'll want to take Lost Creek Parkway to 18th Avenue/Wilderness Road, and turn right (south). Do not take the highway across town as you could be delayed.
PLACES TO EAT, THINGS TO DO
Our concession stand will have all of your favorites while at Wilderness Park. This year, they'll be serving up pulled pork sandwiches and nachos for you to enjoy. We'll also have the "Only Breakfast" food truck at Wilderness Park on Saturday morning.
