The Parker Recreation Department was established in 1992 and the Recreation Center opened in 1994. Since then, we have been busy keeping up with the expectations of our rapidly growing community. In 2000, Parker Recreation was recognized for its high quality facilities and programs when the National Park and Recreation Association awarded the department a National Gold Medal Grand Award for parks and recreation excellence.

Building on this past success, we strive for continued improvement. Over the past five years, Parker Recreation has invested over $15.8 million in new parks and facilities. Major capital projects have included Phase I improvements at Salisbury Equestrian Park, construction of H2O’Brien pool, restoration of the historic Ruth Memorial Chapel, and a Recreation Center addition and renovation. The Town’s inventory now includes over 200 acres of parkland, 400 acres of open space, and 12 miles of paved trails.

Of course, Parker Recreation is much more than facilities. We offer a full range of adult and youth programming choices. Offerings include year round swimming lessons, children’s and adult special interest classes, arts and crafts classes, and cultural events. Recreational sport leagues include baseball, softball, soccer, roller hockey, basketball, flag football, volleyball, and lacrosse. Opportunities for participation continue to grow and diversify with our population.

The Town of Parker’s Recreation Department offers something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a place to picnic, an arts and crafts class to take, or an athletic league to join, you’ve come to the right place!

Recently, the Recreation Department completed its Facility Needs Assessment at the direction of Town Council. This document will serve as a tool for Town leaders as they set priorities for future recreation facility development.
