Things To Do
Youth Team Sports
Organized team sports are available for children as young as four years of age. Soccer, baseball, softball and football are all popular. In fact, Bartow is planning to improve its soccer fields and facilities within the next few months.
For tennis fans, tennis courts are available for play; and for those into exercise, there’s access to the City’s fitness gymnasium with Nautilus equipment at Polk Street Community Center.
