SUMMER'S HERE WITH CARROLL
COUNTY RECREATION & PARKS!
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Carroll County’s Department of Recreation and
Parks. Over that time, hundreds of thousands of program registrants and park visitors
have had their lives positively impacted by our programs and parks.
Generations of residents have played on the same ballfields, hiked trails paddled at Piney
Run Park and attended Outdoor School at Hashawha. As a community, we are healthier
because of these experiences and are more in tune with nature and each other.
Coaches served as mentors, teammates became lifelong friends and we likely learned a
thing or two about ourselves, our neighbors, and our community along the way. Join us
this summer for new and exciting programs, get out and enjoy our parks, and help us
continue to celebrate our golden anniversary all year long.
Thank you for being a part of our Recreation and Parks story for
the past 50 years and we look forward to seeing you this summer.
