The City of Anna has four regulation-sized ballfields at Slayter Creek Park available for public reservation, including three softball fields (Fields 1, 2, and 3) and one baseball field (Field 4) — though Field 4 is currently under construction. Reservations are accepted no more than 14 days in advance and no fewer than 72 hours before the requested time.
Slayter Creek Park fields are not available for reservation between March and June, when the city uses them for league practices and games. During that window, fields revert to city league priority. Outside those months, residents and groups can contact the Parks, Programs & Events department by email or by phone at 469-885-9428 to secure a booking.
In addition to the reservable ballfields, Slayter Creek Park offers first-come, first-served access to batting cages, a backstop on the multi-purpose field, a south multi-purpose field, and soccer fields. The batting cages and multi-purpose field backstop are unavailable between August and November due to city league Youth Soccer practices and games. Restrooms are available at Slayter Creek Park during park hours.
Two additional parks in Anna provide athletic field access under different terms. Johnson Park has two youth-oriented fields — a North Field with 60-foot bases intended for players 8U and younger, and a South Field with 55-foot bases also intended for 8U and younger. Johnson Park fields are first come, first served except when reserved for city league practices and games between March and June. Restrooms are available there during park hours.
Geer Park offers two backstops on a strictly first-come, first-served basis, with no reservation option listed.
Across all three parks, the City of Anna's field inventory includes at least seven distinct athletic field or backstop facilities, serving softball, baseball, soccer, and youth league play. The blackout periods at Slayter Creek Park (March–June for baseball/softball) and the multi-purpose field backstop (August–November for soccer) reflect the city's prioritization of organized youth leagues during peak seasons.
