Tee-Ball Fields(Fields T-1 through T-3)
Tee-ball was first offered by the Parks and Recreation Department in 2003, with two tee-ball fields opening up at the corner of Powerhouse Road and Citizens Park Drive directly behind Citizens Park I. Field T-3 was added in 2005 due to the growth and popularity of the tee-ball program.
