PARKS AND RECREATION:
Slayter Creek Park is located west of Anna Middle School. It includes a variety of recreational amenities including: four ball fields (two lighted), four tennis courts, two basketball goals, a large multi-purpose athletic field, a 3,600 foot walking trail, a skateboard park, a playground, horseshoe pits, a shuffleboard court, a large pavilion and a concession building with restrooms.
Natural Springs Park is just south of West White Street (FM 455). The site includes a natural spring that feeds a small man-made pond. The area around the spring and pond is heavily wooded. A large open area is located along the west side of the tract, providing lots of room for flying kites, playing with Frisbees, and other passive recreational activities. While the majority of the park will remain in its natural state, amenities include walking trails (with three bridges), picnic tables, benches, a fishing pier at the pond, and a gazebo.
Bryant Park is a 5 acre tract located just east of the intersection of 6th and Smith Streets. While a final concept plan for the park has not been finalized, the city has graded the propery and planted turf grass on just over 3 acres. Like Bryant Park, this area is available for outdoor athletic and recreational activities.
Sherley Park features a baseball field where the boys' youth league traditionally plays.
Johnson Park features 2 softball fields where the girls' youth league traditionally plays and a playground.
The city owns other areas of land throughout the city that are designated park land and will be developed as the city grows.
