Community Celebrates Groundbreaking to Revive Stokes Field Approximately 90 people gathered in the afternoon heat to celebrate the revitalization of Stokes Field at a groundbreaking ceremony on July 17 as youth football practice took place in the background. Stokes Field opened in 1969 after Nelson Stokes, Eddie Schrecker, and Jim Howell pitched in $4,700 for the field and equipment. It served the community for five decades with up to 1,500 youth using the baseball and softball fields at the height of its use. Over the last 10 years, the field fell into disrepair resulting in a lack of use by the community. Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden shared some history about the field’s namesake. “This field was named after Nelson Stokes, a man who served people his entire life. Nelson was a WWII, Army Veteran who settled in Montgomery County in 1946. He grew up playing baseball in the cornfields of Kentucky and vowed that if he could, he would help youngsters have a better place to play. For five decades Stokes Field brought joy to many families. We are excited to work with our school system to bring that joy back to the community.” In August 2019, Montgomery County TN Parks and Recreation and the County Engineering Department held a public input meeting at New Providence Middle School to discuss plans for Stokes Field.
