Message From The Director
The mission of our department is to create balanced opportunities for our patrons to play, learn, and grow through our programs and parks. Kent County Parks and Recreation staff strives to offer quality recreation and leisure opportunities through a wide variety of programs.
In today’s world, we understand that it is easy to forget to make time for yourself. At Kent County Parks and Recreation, our staff is dedicated to ensuring our residents have an opportunity to enhance their quality of life and well-being by staying active and building community relationships.
Our department feels it is our privilege to serve Kent County, and we welcome your input and feedback. Please stop by the Community Center. We would love to give you a tour, provide you with information about our programs and events, or just to chat about how we can best serve you and the community.
