RECREATION

Parks And Recreation

Strengthening the community and creating quality recreation and leisure experiences is the mission of the award-winning Germantown Parks and Recreation Department. Its three divisions are: administration and planning, recreation and park ranger services.

There are plenty of opportunities for Germantown residents to enjoy the outdoors without leaving our city limits. To see a map of the City’s parks, visit Germantown-TN.gov/Parks.
