Dothan Parks, playground, and recreationDothan is well known throughout the country as a destination for hosting amateur and professional sporting events, such as softball, youth baseball, and professional tennis. Dothan Leisure Services has overseen this rise in prominence, and they do a tremendous job in not only bringing these events to Dothan, but also in maintaining the many parks and recreation areas here. In addition to parks, walking trails, and picnic pavilions they keep up, Dothan Leisure Services also manages:

  • 21 Total Parks
  • 7 Recreation Centers
  • 11 Playgrounds
  • 6 Picnic Pavilions
  • 47 Tennis Courts
  • 31 Baseball/softball fields
  • 4 Soccer Fields
  • 5 Swimming Pools (1 indoor)
  • 1 Water Park
  • 4 Walking Trails
  • 2 Football fields
  • 1 Football Stadium
  • 1 BMX Track

The different events sponsored throughout the year, such as the Movie Gallery Pro Classic and Dixie Youth World Series this year, bring millions of dollars into the Dothan economy. Families plan vacations around these trips to Dothan, and spend money not only on lodging and food, but they also spend money in our stores.

While all the parks and recreation areas listed above are great for Dothan area residents to enjoy, the money they generate for city coffers is an important piece of the Dothan economy.
