More Knoxville children and teens will get to play sports without worrying about whether their family has money to chip in or whether the field is in good condition.
That s what leaders in the GEM Community Development Group hope to achieve with a new investment of more than $1.6 million.
The group will donate $1.1 million to add turf, hitting cages, pitching cages and improved lighting and fencing at Claude Walker Park. The park is used by Austin-East Magnet High School teams, the Knox Area Youth Alliance teams and the Baby Roadrunners football program. The group also will invest in local youth sports commissions to help pay for uniforms and equipment.

After a year unlike any other, the University of Tennessee is celebrating with graduation ceremonies unlike any other.
For the first time, students are graduating at Neyland Stadium.
There is an extra layer of celebration for students, as these ceremonies are the largest in-person events UT has had in over a year. The pandemic closed the university last spring and postponed 2020 graduation ceremonies.
Although ceremonies were conducted in the fall, they were much smaller than the ones planned for this weekend.
For Haslam College of Business graduates Taylor Sherick, Matteo Sforza and Valentina Rezk, graduation was also a sweet reunion: It was the first time the friends had seen each other in nearly a year because of COVID-19, they said.
Plans have been in the works for several years to replace the existing Carousel, which dates to the 1950s and started with the intent of being a temporary structure.
The venue is a sentimental favorite among audiences, but it s aging and has limited and primitive accommodations for actors backstage and can become cramped when trying to put on a play with a larger cast.
Recent shows there have included People Where They Are, Hamlet and Detroit 67.
The new structure will remain small and intimate but it ll be up-to-date technologically and able to accommodate the demands of productions in the 21st century.
