2022 SUMMER Warren County Parks and Recreation www.warrencountyva.net/parks-and-rec Summer Registration Begins May 2, 2022
Happy Summer to the residents of Warren County!
Warren County Parks and Recreation is proud to present its
Summer 2022 brochure illustrating community travel options,
fitness activities, special events, and other fun and enriching
programs. We are thankful for better days ahead and excited
to resume our many recreational, social, cultural, and
creative program offerings. I invite all citizens to enjoy the
warmer summer days by exploring Warren County Parks and
Recreation Department’s programs.
The Warren County Parks and Recreation Department is excited and proud to showcase
our Splash Pad at Dr. Saul Seide Memorial Botanical Gardens. Adjacent to Lions Park, the Splash
Pad is expected to open in mid-April and is a fun, family friendly way to cool off on a warm
summer day. You may have noticed the newly constructed large shelter adjacent to the Splash
Pad. Thanks to a donation from the Avtex Retirees Club, this shelter will be a beneficial addition
to the Dr. Saul Seide Memorial Botanical Gardens. We look forward to seeing the community
utilizing this beautiful and revitalized park.
In addition to the improvements at Dr. Saul Seide Memorial Botanical Gardens, many
program options can be found in these pages for our many facilities and parks. Summer is the
perfect time to renew a past talent or discover a new passion. All the information you need to
participate can be found in this brochure or at parksandrecreation.warrencountyva.net. I am
confident you and your family will find many activities appealing to a wide variety of interests.
I invite you to join Warren County Parks and Recreation this summer and rediscover all the
wonderful programs we have to offer. We are happy to provide positive experiences where
participants can learn new skills, make memories, and have fun. Please visit our park facilities
and enjoy all the natural beauty of Warren County.
We look forward to serving you in the future. “Come Grow With Us!”
