Southaven: Sports, Music and History

Southaven combines dedicated sports facilities with recurring events and a historic home. Choosing where to stay depends on whether you’re traveling for disc golf, softball or baseball, have a date at Springfest or the BankPlus Amphitheater in mind, or are interested in Snowden House. The facilities differ by sport, purpose and number of fields; for events, the specific date also matters. These priorities can help you tailor your search for hotels in Southaven to the reason for your trip.

Sports Facilities as a Reason to Travel

Central Park has an 18-hole disc golf course. The number of holes makes its sporting focus specific and distinguishes it from the softball and baseball facilities. If disc golf is the reason for your trip, this gives you a clear point of reference for planning.

Greenbrook Softball Complex has eight softball fields. Here, the number of fields is the precise detail; at Central Park, the number of holes is the focus. This information can help you choose your reason for visiting by sport, rather than treating disc golf, softball and baseball as interchangeable sports.

Snowden Grove Baseball Complex serves recreational and competitive teams. Here, the description identifies who uses the facility, while Greenbrook is characterized by its eight softball fields. Snowden Grove Baseball Complex also hosts Springfest, an annual festival and barbecue competition. So, besides its connection to baseball, the complex is also a festival destination. If Springfest is the reason for your trip, check the event dates.

Southaven Field of Dreams is a mini-complex for children and adults with disabilities and developmental impairments. Its intended users make it a different kind of destination from facilities characterized by a sport, team use or number of fields. The focus here is on the facility’s purpose, not on a specific sport or number of playing fields.

Music, History and Visit Planning

Following its renovation, BankPlus Amphitheater has approximately 9,800 seats. Since 2006, it has hosted performances by major artists in the music industry. Its approximate capacity and performance history distinguish this music venue from the sports-focused facilities. If you’re traveling for a performance, the specific date is key; check the event schedule for your travel dates.

Parking at the amphitheater is free unless you purchase a premium parking pass. Keep this condition in mind when planning, and check the parking rules before your visit.

Snowden House is a historic home near Snowden Grove Park and was formerly the Snowden family residence. It was restored as the city’s event center for special occasions. Its use for events may vary depending on the date; if you’re planning your stay around an event there, check the specific dates. The house combines a historic family connection with a civic event function.
