Maynard Glenn Ballfields

Sports Facilities

Four baseball and softball fields of different sizes sprawl across this South Knoxville spot, meant for players of all ages and abilities. The well-kept fields work great whether you're just practicing your swing or in the heat of competition.

These fields serve as home turf for South Knoxville Youth Sports, with baseball and softball events happening during the year. Many local families enjoy the youth sports offerings here.

Park Amenities

Beyond the diamonds, you can find a playground area where younger kids can burn off energy. It's nice to have this option for families, especially if you're here with little ones who aren't playing in the games.

During events, the park's concession stand opens up, offering those classic game-day treats that just taste better at the ballfield. The refreshments are generally well-liked. Clean restrooms are also available on-site.

Park Features

There's parking available, but it can fill up quickly on busy game days, so you might want to arrive early. The grounds themselves are typically clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere for everyone, whether you're playing or cheering from the sidelines.

Beyond regular games, the fields occasionally host special community events, including a sunflower festival that many people enjoy.

History

The park bears the name of Maynard Glenn, who dedicated over thirty years of his life as the local park director. Today, the ballfields continue his legacy by bringing the South Knoxville community together and fostering a love of sports among local youth.
