Welcome

It's hard to say there's nothing to do in Cobb County, whether you care to walk, ride, play or relax. If you like the outdoors, we have sports parks, walking trails and golf courses. If you prefer climate-controlled fun, we have indoor swimming pools, basketball gyms and even our own cultural centers. And if you just want to be entertained, world-famous acts regularly stop here to perform at our stage theatre or our outdoor amphitheatre.

We support team and individual play, coach individual excellence and sportsmanship and promote environmental awareness. Welcome to the Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department, where fun is easy to find.

The event is expected to draw more than 50 teams and marks the first men's slow-pitch national Cobb has hosted since 2000. It also represents the 40th ASA national championship hosted locally at the Al Bishop and Lost Mountain complexes. Cobb's national championship relationship with the ASA dates back to 1981 and will continue in late July 2009 when more than 140 teams are expected to participate in the ASA Girl's 14-Under Class A Fast-Pitch national final. Day tickets for the men's tournament are $6 for adults and $4 for children with weekend passes available.   Come out and see the action!
