Lee Park lies between 2nd and 3rd Streets, and between Glenn L. England (Highway 183) and Cordell Avenue. An extension north of 3rd Street also contains basketball court and skate park, as well as some playground equipment and an old hut.
Coordinates given for the park are alongside the playground area on 2nd Street. This park was a WPA project in 1940 and it contains numerous rock structures, such as bridges, drinking fountains, firepits, drainage ditches and walkway curbing, as well as a rock hut which originally held an office and was later used as a Boy Scout hut. Recently, the Kiwanis Club sponsored a really nice playground area on the south side of the park along 2nd Street, which is surrounded by wood fencing.
The park is a focal point for many community activities, including the annual Eager Egg Hunt, the fall Pumpkin Festival,and other church and community picnic and activities. The sign for the park is located north of 3rd Street adjacent to the basketball court.
