WHERE WE PLAY

BERLINER PARK

Home to the 2010, 2015, and 2021 Gay Softball World Series, Lou Berliner Sports Park is set to host the 2026 Gay Softball World Series across its 30+ field complex, the largest in the nation. Each field is fenced, has infield turf, and dugouts. Most fields have lights and access to restrooms and full service concessions. 

Conveniently located just south of Downtown Columbus, Berliner is less than 20 minutes from John Glenn International Airport and 15 minutes from the host hotels, various GSWS venues and partnering restaurants, bars, and businesses.

Lou Berliner Sports Park is located at 325 Greenlawn Ave, Columbus, OH 43223. For more information and answers to FAQ about the fields, click here.
