Haslam Sports Center Opens

Baseball in Lakeshore Park got a new homeThe Jim Haslam Sports Center was developed to provide new and improved baseball amenities for the park while allowing for eventual new opportunities at the former ballfield locations. The once largely unused open space in the Southwest section of the park is now home to four new and improved Little League ballfields, a new Challenger Field for children with disabilities, a new parking lot, and the Fieldhouse, which serves as a communal hub during game days and as a new event venue.

Situated along the reconfigured Outer Loop Trail, the Fieldhouse provides everyday trail users with convenient access to restrooms and outdoor seating. With new concessions, covered picnic and bistro table seating, new restrooms, storage space, and meeting/event rooms, the Fieldhouse has amenities for both gameday activities and daily park use.
