Spring Into New Adventures with Henry County Parks & Recreation!

Spring is a season of growth, new beginnings, and exciting opportunities. This year, we are taking it to the next level! Henry County Parks and Recreation is thrilled to introduce an expanded lineup of programs and events designed to inspire, engage, and bring our community together.

Leading the way is the new North Mt. Carmel Recreation Center, featuring state-of-the-art amenities like an esports room and an art studio. These additions open the door to unique experiences, encouraging creativity, competition, and connection like never before.

But that’s just the beginning! Spring 2025 will also bring:

- New homeschool programs focused on writing and literacy.

- Girls flag football, blending athleticism with academic enrichment.

- Exciting collaborations offering mentorship, entrepreneurship, and educational opportunities.

- Over 30 free community events designed to entertain, educate, and engage residents of all ages.

As these initiatives take root and flourish, they’ll shape the future of our community for years to come. Thank you for your continued support in making Henry County a vibrant, innovative, connected, and exceptional community. We can’t wait to see you this spring!

DISC GOLF COURSE AT BUD KELLEY - 2025

PARKS & REC MASTER PLAN

The Master Plan serves to create a vision for the next ten years of progress, growth, and adaptation within Henry County’s Department of Parks and Recreation.

Parks have a unique, multi-faceted power to serve their community. By providing spaces for people to gather and play, protecting and enhancing the local ecology, and representing the area’s social and cultural character, parks weave together nature, public health, and culture in ways that benefit everyone.
