In Collierville, "playing" is serious business!

Each year, national and local sports teams vie for the next championship at one of our incredible sports complexes, a part of our immaculately maintained parks system. Collierville Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department currently has eleven regional and neighborhood parks totaling over 350 acres of parkland. Within these complexes are over thirty athletic fields; gazebos and pavilions; nearly a dozen modular play structures; fitness tracks and unique water-spray areas for those hot summer days.

Perhaps the jewel of this system is the Collierville Greenbelt System. Designed for the construction of over 60 miles of trails and sidewalks connecting parks, schools, neighborhoods and commercial districts; the 8 ½ miles of completed greenbelt enhances the natural beauty of the town. The Collierville Greenbelt runs along laterals of the famous Wolf River, preserving natural vegetation and providing protected wildlife habitat. The Wolf River provides a waterway of opportunities connecting nature, wildlife experiences and outdoor recreation. With over one million dollars invested in conservation efforts alone, this is one Collierville attraction that continues to develop. Tying this nature area into the existing park system will soon provide residents and visitors with a memorable eco-tourism and soft adventure experience.

The nearby Mike Rose Soccer Complex sits on 136 acres and boasts 16 fields designed to accommodate exhibition games, tournaments, league games and special events; as well as academies, camps and clinics, and coaches' symposiums. In August of 2001, the 2,500 + seat stadium of the complex was complete, making this facility America's Premier Soccer Complex.

Indeed, we take a great deal of pride in how we "play" in Collierville. Collierville offers many entertaining attractions such as pottery painting, candle making, bowling, roller-skating and catching the latest flick at a movie theatre. From escaping the hectic day by retreating to a local spa and salon, to sports tournaments, shopping and visiting a local museum; we want our community and its visitors to know that we appreciate taking time out to have a little fun!
