General Information

Harrison Recreation was founded in 1971 by a group of volunteers with a vision for the youth in the area. Hamilton County Parks and Rec embraced this idea and provided funding for the creation of Harrison Recreation. Over the years, Harrison Rec has been a cornerstone in the Chattanooga, TN area for families and youth sports enthusiasts. Today those values hold true for the current administration. "We are one" is our motto at Harrison and we will do whatever it takes to enhance the community of youth sports. We offer ages 3 up to 16 years of age to play baseball and softball.

Beginning March 2024 we will offer 3 indoor climate controlled batting cages and a party room for rent. For more information and reservations contact Shai Johnson at 423-443-7259.
