It’s a new year – and the Parks and Recreation department is ready to keep you committed to your New Year’s Resolutions by offering programs, leagues, and exciting opportunities to keep you busy and active throughout these first few months of the year.

This is also a great time to get those River Run Waterpark Memberships locked down for the upcoming year. River Run is hiring lifeguards and guest services for the upcoming season as well, so be sure to pass this information along to someone you know who might be interested.

We’ve got programs for every fitness level designed to keep you active and motivated, and tailored to fit your fitness needs. Our Parks and Recreation department also has lots of senior programs and family activities lined up, so be sure to try one out this year.
