School Sports- Many Clay residents can be seen at Cougar Stadium on autumn Friday nights, cheering for the talented and hard-working football team. In Clay-Chalkville High School's short history, the 6A Cougars have already created a legacy of success. In 1999, just three years after the school was built, the mighty Cougars won the state title.
Clay's 2003 baseball team also brought home a state championship title. In addition to football and baseball, the school has produced winning softball and girls basketball teams, creating a lot of community pride and a state-wide claim to faim.
Track- Clay-Chalkville Middle School has a state-of-the-art track built in 2008. Clay residents enjoy walking around the track and along Cougar Drive in front of the high school and middle school. A sidewalk has been added along Deerfoot Parkway and Cougar Drive.
Playgrounds- The sound of children playing - what could be sweeter? Clay Elementary, right next to City Hall, has two playgrounds used by elementary students, a day care and anyone who wants their children to expend some energy. In 2011, another playground was installed at the Clay City Park.
