About the Venue

Fitzpatrick Park is a Beckley community park with a playground, picnic shelters, paved walking areas, fishing lake access, and multiple ball fields. Raleigh County Parks included Fitzpatrick in its official all-inclusive, handicap-accessible playground initiative, so it stands out from a generic sports park listing. For families, the draw is the combination of everyday free play, room to walk, and enough surrounding amenities to make an hour or two feel easy.
