New, Up & Coming Programs!

The Clinton Parks and Recreation Department strives to introduce new and ex-

citing programs into the community. Stay tuned for some great new programs

& events we want to introduce in the near future! One is highlighted below:

Clinton Adult Sport League

This league will cater to the adult population that wants to stay active, meet new people and have some fun. We are looking to introduce a men’s basketball and women’s kickball league to jump start the program. Each league will have weekly games and end in a playoff round. We are also looking to pair this program with local restaurants/bars so after the game you can enjoy some great food and drinks while bonding with your team. Stay tuned for more information and registration will open in the spring, so start compiling your team!

If you have suggestions for any other programs please contact us with your ideas.
