Pole Green Park, 8996 Pole Green Park Lane on state Route 627, about four miles east of Interstate 295 and located behind Pole Green Elementary School.

This 232-acre park opened in the fall of 1998. Amenities at this park include softball fields, soccer field, football field, a skate park, tot-lots and playgrounds, a concession building with restrooms, 0.3-mile walking/jogging trail, picnic shelter, community center, a horse ring with stable area, sand volleyball courts and horseshoe pits. Most field events are out in the open, so in the summer months, bring your own umbrellas for shelter.

Pole Green Community Center houses a variety of Parks and Recreation programs. Open horseback riding in the two rings is permitted during normal park hours.

The park also hosts the annual Hanover Tomato Festival, as well as many county events and youth sports tournaments.
