Facilities Information
King George County Public Facilities
In addition to the facilities used for programs, the Parks and Recreation Department is directly responsible for the oversight of Wayside Park, Barnesfield Park, Wilmont Landing, Sealston Sports Complex, the Citizens Center and Shiloh Park. Sealston Sports Complex is a 45 acre park adjoining Sealston Elementary School. Currently, this facility consists of a 10 acre multipurpose field and four baseball/softball fields, 2 lighted ball fields, picnic shelter, restroom and concession stand. There is limited parking within the park and additional parking is permitted at the school’s parking lot. Wayside Park is a 10 acre park site on the Potomac River located on Route 301 at the Harry G. Nice Memorial Bridge. Amenities include several picnic tables, two grills and approximately 100 yards of beach. Parking is limited on-site; however, there is additional parking located at the commuter parking lot adjoining the Welcome Center and at Barnesfield Park (a short 5 minute stroll). Barnesfield Park is located on Route 301 approximately one mile south of the Harry G. Nice Memorial Bridge. This 150 acre park has 2 picnic shelters, 3 baseball/softball fields, 1 Little League size field, 2 multipurpose fields, outdoor basketball courts and a fitness loop. Wilmont Landing – this landing provides public boat access to the Rappahannock River. This site has very limited parking available. Wilmont Landing is located on Wilmont Road off of Rollins Fork Road (Rt. 681). To reach Rollins Fork Road, follow Rt. 3 approximately 6 miles east of Rt. 301 & Rt.3 intersection. Citizens Center – is located at 8076 Kings Highway (across from The Shops at King George shopping center). Inside the Center is the Parks and Recreation office, a conference room, a banquet room and kitchen. Tuesday through Thursday mornings, the Rappahannock Area Agency on Aging offers a program for mature adults on one side of the banquet hall while the other side is used for a variety of recreational activities. Recreational programs are offered on-site all week long. When not in use for departmental activities, the Center may be rented for functions. Outside, there are sand volleyball courts, a playground and a couple of picnic tables. Shiloh Park - is located at the old landfill site off Rt. 205, our newest facility has one NCAA size baseball field, multi-purpose field, playground, an approximate 1/2 mile loop walking path and plenty of parking. IMPORTANT General Program Information: Please Read. The programs that are listed in this Program Guide are the programs that we had planned by the publication due date. Please check our website for additional programs or call the Department for any updated programs. Due to facility uses, programs may be subject to changes in times and/or locations. Please verify with the Department upon registering. We attempt to notify you as early as possible with any program change. If we fail to reach you, please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused. Please register for classes in advance. Waiting until the last minute may cause a class to cancel. Classes may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Unless otherwise noted or notified by an instructor/program supervisor, classes/programs may be held on holidays. LATE REGISTRATION FEES: A $10 late fee will be imposed on any program registrations coming in after the designated deadline. Any late registrations coming in beyond two weeks after the registration deadline will be assessed $20 plus any additional cost associated with ordering equipment or supplies. Inclement Weather Policy: At this time, the King George County Parks and Recreation Department follows the King George County Schools schedule for programs offered in the schools during school hours. KGP&R after-school program hours are determined typically by 4:00pm. Programs offered at other locations are dealt with on a case by case basis. Insufficient Funds - Checks returned for insufficient funds will be assessed a $35 fee by the Treasurer’s Office and the check-writer’s name will be forwarded to our Department. The Department will no longer be able to accept checks from said check-writer. Refunds Full refunds are issued in the event a program cancels; or if the Department is notified prior to the program starting and where no costs are incurred. Where costs were incurred for deposits, apparel, equipment or any other program related expenses; those costs will be deducted from the refund. No cash refunds will be given. Refunds generally take
two to four weeks. Refunds are not issued after programs begin or for unattended classes. Unusual circumstances will be handled on a caseby-case basis and may be subject to being credited for unused funds. Cancellations/Postponements of Programs Every once in a while we think we have a great program idea or an instructor has proposed a great program; but the enrollment is insufficient. Staff looks at postponing the program (time to be determined) to see if there is evidence that we think we can get the program to make through other means; and canceling as a last resort. When we cancel, we do our best to notify participants and issue a refund. Program Evaluations Program evaluations will be randomly given to participants or their parents. Evaluations are issued to gauge how programs are received, the instruction or coaching, an assessment on the registration process from the time you get registration form to making payment and our reflection on you, the facilities we use and your ideas on what we can do to better serve you whether it is in program offerings, staffing or department operations.

Master Gardeners Special project On Tuesday, November 29th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The Master Gardening Association of the Central Rappahannock Area (MGACRA) will conduct a Boxwood Table Top Tree Workshop at the KG Citizens Center.

Master Gardeners will be on hand to help each participant to create a beautiful tree suitable to grace your dining room table or use anywhere in your home or office. In addition, Atlas gloves will be available for purchase. Stop by our table at the annual Arts and Crafts Fair on Nov 19th at the Citizens Center to see a finished boxwood table top tree and register for the workshop. Cost and poject details TBD.

Registration for Programs Registering for a program is fairly easy. Unless otherwise noted, you may register for a program four ways: in person at the Citizens Center; sending registration form and payment by mail; by fax either using the form included in the program guide or one off the website; or online registration. In person, come to the Citizens Center located at 8076 Kings Highway, fill out the registration form and make your payment by cash (exact payment please), money order or by check. Our business hours are Monday – Friday 8:00a.m – 5:00p.m. We have extended program registration hours Monday –Thursday 5:00p.m – 7:00p.m (payment by check or money order only). By mail, send your completed registration form and payment to King George County Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 71, King George, Virginia 22485. When sending by mail we encourage you to make a phone call two or three days after sending to make sure the Department received it.

Online registration is available for those interested in making a payment by credit card. Currently, this is the only method participants may use with a credit card.
Our on-line registration site is http://kinggeorge.recdesk.com Once you have registered, you will be given a receipt acknowledging your payment (exceptions include special events or walk-in programs where the instructor will collect the money for the class and forward it to our office). Please retain the receipt for your records. Generally, we do not contact you about a program unless there is a change or cancellation. Please mark the starting date on your calendar. As a follow-up, you may want to call about a program you registered for just prior to the scheduled beginning date. For team athletic programs, participant’s parents should call the Recreation office if you have not heard from a coach or a Recreation office staff member within a reasonable amount of time. We are attempting to get all coaches to notify their players by a specified date. This date is announced or included in our promotional flyers. If you are unsure of the date, please do not hesitate to contact our office or check on the website.
