Athletic Facilities
If you enjoy softball, kickball, tennis or basketball, LaFollette Park is a great place to gather your friends together for a game or match. Three softball/baseball diamonds are available with a backstop fence and bleachers for your fans. LaFollette Park also offers three tennis courts at no charge. Finally, four basketball hoops offer you plenty of opportunities to hone your playing skills, also free of charge.

Playground
A park wouldn't be complete without a playground, and LaFollette Park offers plenty of equipment for kids to enjoy. With swings, monkey bars and slides, kids will have no trouble keeping themselves busy and having fun with friends. With all of the equipment located in sand, kids will stay relatively protected from falls.
