Parks & Recreation

The Ozark Leisure Services Department is the base for a year-round recreation and leisure program for the City of Ozark and the surrounding community. The department offers youth sports programming in baseball, softball, basketball and soccer. Ozark has over 70 youth teams in an average year. The department also offers youth camps for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, cheerleading, baton and team dance, as well as adult softball and flag football leagues.

The city has nine baseball/softball fields, two soccer fields, one youth football field, four outdoor basketball courts, ten tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a skate park, gymnasium, and is currently developing a new four-field athletic complex adjacent to the existing soccer fields and gymnasium.

The department also operates many facilities throughout the city. The Ozark Civic Center, a 4,000-plus seat arena, is a popular venue for concerts, circuses, conventions, and more. Two community centers, Autrey, which houses the community pool, and Perry, behind which is SkateZone, are available for rental for parties and gatherings. The department also maintains the Ozark/Dale County Senior Center and Ed Lisenby Lake.
