A message from the director...

Providing quality programming and services, a safe, aesthetically pleasing greenway and park system is the commitment we make every Bob Dowless day to the families and residents of Concord. We take great pride in providing services that enhance quality of life and we strive to make our community a great place to live.

I hope you have the opportunity to get outdoors and walk the greenway, visit one of our parks, experience one of our special events, visit one of our community centers, and participate in a recreational class or program.

Concord Parks & Recreation takes great pride in the community support we receive and want you to know that we are continually working to earn your support. We welcome your comments, questions or concerns. You can reach our office at 704.920.5600 or email us at recreation@concordnc.gov.
