Have a health & fitness-focused

Make us part of your plans for 2022.

High Point Parks & Recreation offers a wide range of programs for youth and adults of all ages, interests and skill levels that can help you safely “Play. Learn. Enjoy.” The new year brings with it all sorts of new possibilities. We hope you will explore some of them through High Point Parks & Recreation.

Increase your physical activity.

Visit our website at www.highpointnc.gov/pr and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about year-round programs and events, including youth and adult athletics, exercise, yoga and dance classes. The Culler Senior Center and ASPIRE (Adaptive Sports, Programs & Inclusive Recreation) offer programs and events tailored for older adults and people with disabilities as well.

Come walk on our greenways or take a stroll in a park. Enjoy a playground with the young ones or bring the “furkids” to Hedgecock Dog Park. All ages can learn a new skill, or improve on an old one: tennis, golf, standup paddle boarding, fishing and more.

The fitness center at 401 Taylor Ave. has been remodeled and offers a cardio fitness room, elliptical machine, treadmill, fitness rope, kettlebells, weights and a Smith Bench press machine.
