Today’s stop on our tour of Vigo County Parks is… Lee Fields Park! This park had once been the playground of the old Concannon High School and was deeded to the Park Board in April, 1975 by the Vigo County School Corporation. The park was named Lee Fields in honor of a West Terre Haute businessman and Rotarian who had spent many years developing recreational facilities and programs for young people in the area.
The park has a small playground, a multipurpose court with basketball goals, a softball field with a back stop, an open field, a picnic shelter, and a wooded area. As no rest rooms are available in this park, a stone water fountain was installed especially for those individuals participating in sports. This spring it featured our end of the school year Movie in the Park! Be sure to visit this quiet park next time you’re out exploring!
