Twin Lakes Sports Park
Located on W. Bloomfield Rd. (2nd Street) on the west side of town, Twin Lakes Sports Park plays host to spring, summer and fall adult softball leagues, and has been awarded the distinction of hosting national softball tournaments for all ages of participants for over a decade.

HISTORY:
Twin Lakes was built in 1992. This area was once a lake bed. It was chosen because it proved to meet all the necessary criteria. The City already owned the land, which is within two miles of the downtown area, thereby eliminating acquisition costs. In addition, water, sewer and electrical service were already available on the site.
