Grimes Park is a regional park that is heavily programmed with sports activities. The park is divided into three specific use zones: a covered BMX park, a baseball complex, and a soccer complex. The BMX park is a public-private operation operated by an outside concessionaire.

The baseball complex consists of nine fields of varying sizes and two practice fields. One of the fields is a premier field with raised covered bleachers. In addition to the game fields, two restroom/concession buildings serve the complex.

The soccer complex is separated from the baseball complex by a creek and is divided into two zones with a total of nine fields. A restroom/concession building is located in the southern zone.

DeSoto BMX was America’s first covered facility built exclusively for BMX racing. This 60,000 square foot lighted track plays host to local, district, state, regional, and national motos year-round in all racing categories. The track was constructed by the ABA’s track building staff and contains 1,000 yards of hard-packed dirt. With massive berms and jumps, the track is the ultimate national quality, according to ABA. Having grown in massive popularity since the 1970s, the International Olympic Committee decided in 2003 to add BMX to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
