Can we all just agree that Clarksville has some pretty awesome parks and playgrounds. As the weather begins to get warmer and the days begin to get longer, here are some
of our favorite local playgrounds to spend a day of family fun
1.) Coy Lacy Park
Nestled in a quite subdivision off of Madison St, this playground is absolutely perfect for small kids. The playground itself is not huge and overwhelming, but still offers a good variety of activities such as swings, slides and even an adorable animal inspired merry go round. In addition there is a paved walking path that circles the park and a nice sized open field for practicing baseball, soccer, or even just rolling around in the grass for a bit!
2.) Heritage Park
Located off of 101st and Peachers Mill this park is ideal for the sports enthusiasts in your family. Heritage Park consists of eight soccer fields, four baseball fields and two basketball courts. It also features two incredibly unique playgrounds, a skate park and an all-inclusive splash pad to cool off on those hot summer days. Wanna include your furry friends in the fun too?
