Parks & Recreation

The Parks Department is responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and overall planning and design of the parks system throughout the City. The parks system has experienced many positive advancements due to the tax revenue collected from recent SPLOST votes. 

Currently, park rentals are NOT being allowed by the City, as we have a passive parks system that is open to all visitors. Special Event Permits may be requested depending on the type of event and size of activity, so as to not disrupt other passive activities at any park. Pavilions at parks are on a first come first serve basis, with no activity being acceptable outside of City sponsored events at Childers Park and the Town Green. Hammond Park is currently closed. Parks are open from dawn to dusk ONLY.
