Windward Slopes Park received the Four Star Award for “Best New Facility” in the population range of 10,000 to 20,000 from the Tennessee Recreation and Park Association. Windward Slopes Park includes tennis courts, a ball wall, playground, walking trail and pavilion. An important factor in the award is the park includes recreation opportunities for all ages. This award is the highest honor recognized by the Tennessee Recreation and Park Association.
Lakeland Park and Recreation Director Brenda Lockhart prepared the application for the grant for the Windward Slopes Park improvements and was a major factor in planning the activities for the park. Congratulations to Brenda!
