Warmer weather is here and at Clarksville Parks and Recreation that means that parks and programming are in full swing.

The new Red River Trail extension is now open providing additional Greenway to explore and Billy Dunlop Pavilion has been renovated for your next gathering. There are dozens of programs for you and your family to enjoy at our recreation centers and ballparks. In addition, we host many special events including the three-day Riverfest festival in September, Movies in the Park throughout spring and summer, and the always popular Downtown Market. We also have multiple splash pads and pools to cool you off on those hot days. If you’re a history buff, you’ll love Ft Defiance and it’s Civil War-era displays and rich Clarksville history.

WATER WALKING Tuesdays/Thursdays, May 26 - July 30, 5:30PM - 6:30PM At Bel-Aire Pool ages 18 and up, $3 per class

Water walking is an excellent aerobic and calorie-burning workout. You can burn up to 550 calories per hour by walking in the water. It’s a wonderful way to be or stay active if you are nursing an injury or correcting muscle imbalances.
