History

Crossville's Centennial Park originally opened in 1992, with the initial phase of the park being called “Crossville Recreational Park”. The original park included 4 state of the art adult sized regulation softball fields with field house and concessions, 3 picnic pavilions, ½ mile walking trail, combination basketball/tennis court area, regulation double tennis court, 6 concrete and clay horseshoe pits, 4 sand volleyball courts and a large child play area with sand boxes.

Over the years, numerous events were held at the Recreational Park, with a majority of them being softball tournaments. These tournaments generated revenue not only for this city facility, but also for the entire community as they brought in players and family members utilizing hotels, restaurants, going shopping and visiting other area recreation.

In 2000, much needed expansions of the park began. 22 acres was purchased adjoining the existing facility and designed to house 3 youth sized softball fields, a regulation baseball field, 2 tee-ball fields along with field house and concessions, adequate parking and an extension of the existing walking trail. This brought total acreage of the facility to approximately 67 acres. With the opening of the new softball complex occurring during the heart of Crossville’s Centennial celebration, Crossville Recreational Park donned a new name, becoming Crossville Centennial Park. The original softball complex took on the name of “Warner Complex”, being named after former city councilman Dave Warner, who had a strong impact in the building of the original park in 1992. The new expansion part of the park became know as “Turner Complex”, honoring city councilman Gene Turner, who was instrumental in the building of the new facility. Turner Complex opened in August 2001 hosting the Dixie Belles World Series, honoring Councilman Turner, who died suddenly during construction of the complex, leaving behind a legacy of his dedication.

Centennial Park continues to grow and improve. In conjunction with the local Horseshoe Pitchers Association, the City constructed a covered pavilion to house 12 clay horseshoe pits in the Turner Complex. Walking trails throughout the park have been extended and paved bringing the total trail surface to approximately 1½ miles. A second fully inclusive playground was added to the Turner Complex. Additional parcels of property were purchased adjoining Centennial Park, bringing the total property to approximately 83 acres.  A large dog park, with play and exercise areas for both large and small dogs was built and later dedicated to fallen Crossville K9 Police Officer Cain.  The existing tennis courts saw little play and were resurfaced and converted to 8 pickleball courts which have proven to be extremely successful and busy.

Changes and improvements continue to keep the facilities top notch for the citizens of Crossville and park visitors. Tournaments and local leagues are flourishing so you can drive by most any day during the season and see a crowd enjoying the park!
