Signs of spring are popping up everywhere. With the changing of seasons, comes a feeling of renewal. Suddenly it is time to enjoy the fresh air, open the windows and even do some spring cleaning; out with the old and in with the new. Spring is also the perfect opportunity to start fresh and get active. Clarksville Parks and Recreation is ready to help you get out of the winter slump and into shape (while having fun, of course).

Spring Softball is underway with practices taking place and games beginning Monday, March 29th. Spring softball is an annual tradition that brings together people of all ages for fun and exercise.
