Directions
Take your best route to Des Moines, and get on I-235 off of I-35/I-80. I-235 runs along the South and East portion of Des Moines.
At the very South East side of I-235, take the "Iowa State Fairground" E University Ave exit (also called 163). Take it East, towards the Iowa State Fairground.
Just before the Iowa State Fairground (on the right), turn South (right) on to E 30th St (just past the QuickTrip on the corner, directly across from the State Fair sign). There will be brown signs pointing the direction to "Sleepy Hollow Sports Park."
Take E 30th St South then turn East (left) on to Dean Ave.
Follow Dean Ave past where it splits (stay on Dean) and Sleepy Hollow Sports Park will be just beyond the split on the right hand side.
