The City of Clay Park and Reecreation Board oversees all recreational public facilities in the city. They make recommendations to the Clay City Council on policies and spending so residents have park facilities that add to the pleasant lifestyle Clay residents already enjoy.
The City of Clay now has three parks. The Clay City Park is mostly used for little league athletics. Future plans include a walking trail, pavilion and more athletic fields. Cosby Lake Park offers picnic areas and fishing. Chalkville Bryant Park offers a small building for use and a historic baseball field.
Construction is continuing at the Clay City Park with immediate plans to add a second concession stand, which will mostly serve the football / soccer field.
The board recently took over the management of the Clay City Park, working with volunteer directors of each sport.
In the summer of 2009, the board discussed possible future uses for a vacant building located at Cosby Lake Park. No final decision has been made.
This board welcomes all to come to their public meetings at the concession stand at the Clay City Park on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m.
Members of this board are:
- Chairman Ben Thackerson
- Donna Key
- Bo Johnson
- Adam Self
- Jeff Cole
- David Feemster
- Scott Watkins
- Chris Sharit
Councilman Charles Webster is the liaison between the park board and the Clay City Council.
