Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the Garner Parks and Recreation Department, and to the exciting opportunities that we have available for you! We hope you will spend time going through website and find something of interest to you and your family. With the spring and summer seasons upon us, this website highlights the many programs, activities and special events available for children, youth, adults and seniors. You will also find information on our wonderful parks system. Whether you want to bike, walk or run the trails, spend the day fishing, host a family gathering or just relax and read your favorite novel, Garner has a park that makes this opportunity available to you. Even in the midst of the economic challenges that we all now face, the Parks and Recreation Department offers numerous FREE programs for you and your family. Pack your lawn chairs or blankets and join us for our upcoming Summer Concert Series, and then again for the Independence Day Celebration on July 3rd. Children can participate in the FREE afterschool program at the Avery Street gym/annex, and there are always various senior fitness classes available at the Garner Senior Center, and ALL of these programs are offered at NO cost to you!
Garner is certainly…A Great Place to Be, and the Garner Parks and Recreation Department strives to make it….A Great Place to Play!

Garner Parks and Recreation Director
