As you think ahead and start making plans for gatherings, remember that the large picnic shelter at the Recreation Complex can be reserved for private events....birthday parties, showers, family reunions.


In an effort to streamline the process for residents we have created an online form for reservation requests. We will respond to your request with an email confirmation.


Stay in the loop with all the fun Recreation Department Events here!

Trails Updates

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES



In May trail work days will be from 9-11am.


Friday, May 5th @ Tom Raymond Fitness Trail

Friday, May 12th @ Recreation Complex

Friday, May 19th @ Alexander Ford

Friday, May 26th @ ICC Library Loop


On May 12th we will host an informational/hands on training day for anyone interested in helping us on the trails.



If you would like to help us with trail work, please contact us.


If you'd rather work on your own, feel free to walk a trail, picking up trash and moving small branches from the trails. Please don't cut any branches; if a trail needs more attention, email trails@polknc.org and we will take care of it or bring it to that trail manager's attention.


MIND YOUR MANNERS

Most trails, if they are open, may not have public facilities that are open, so check ahead of time. If a trail is crowded, please travel to a different spot so you can practice social distancing. Other trail courtesies also still apply: keep dogs on-leash on all hiking trails, take your trash with you, etc. Thanks for doing your part!
