Teague Park is a Highlight

Teague Park was finished last year with the final concrete for the splash pad. It has basketball courts, tennis courts, a baseball and softball field and more. It was a two and a half year project.

“We officially opened it up last year to rave reviews and lots of use. The highlight is showcasing the new facility. A lot of people haven’t seen it. They’ll be blown away by the looks of the park and the ease of how everything is laid out,” said Marquis.
