2026 Summer Activity Guide by Henry County Government

TO BE THE FOUNDATION FOR A VIBRANT, INNOVATIVE, CONNECTED & EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNITY.

LEADERSHIP CORNER

Summer in Henry County represents more than sunshine and longer days. It is a season of connection, adventure, and new beginnings. This summer marks many great new adventures for Henry County Parks and Recreation. We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of Butler’s Bridge Park on May 21, a vibrant new space that reflects our commitment to creating places where community thrives. Designed for play, recreation, gathering, and discovery, Butler’s Bridge Park will offer families, friends, and neighbors new opportunities to connect, explore, and enjoy the outdoors together. We cannot wait to welcome you to what will quickly become one of Henry County’s treasured destinations.

In June, we open the doors to the Henry County Aquatic Center and Waterpark (#SwimHenry), a transformational facility built for recreation, wellness, learning, and unforgettable summer fun. Featuring exciting water attractions, inviting leisure spaces, swim opportunities for all ages, and areas designed to bring people together, it will be more than a waterpark. It will be a place where confidence is built, memories are created, and community comes alive.

Beyond these exciting milestones, our summer season is filled with opportunities to learn, play, and grow. From youth athletics and camps to enrichment programs, community events, and experiences designed for every age and ability, we remain committed to creating spaces where everyone belongs and every family can thrive.

At Henry County Parks and Recreation, every park, every program, and every event is rooted in a simple belief: strong communities are built through connection. Your participation, enthusiasm, and support inspire everything we do, and together, we are building a healthier, stronger, and more vibrant Henry County.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. This summer is one for the history books, and we cannot wait to experience it with you.

AQUATICS

Henry County Aquatics Center and Waterpark

The Henry County Aquatic Center is set to deliver a premier aquatic facility with world-class amenities, ensuring safety, accessibility, and community engagement. The center will offer diverse water-based activities, promoting recreation, relaxation, and sporting events. Key features include indoor/outdoor pools, stadium seating, modern support spaces and a thrilling waterpark! The building design harmonizes with its surroundings, emphasizing water connections and optimizing views. Utilizing an affordable hybrid construction approach with a simple material palette and building form, the center achieves efficiency without compromising on environmental responsibility.

With a 30-foot Slide Tower housing four different types of slides; one tube slide is “open body” and the second is “closed body”; one slide is a “speed slide” and the last is a “mat racer” that can accommodate up to four people at once. There’s also a mellow lazy river, a Waves LTD Wave Rider, a zero-depth Kiddie Pool area with water themed obstacles like the kid favorite big water dump bucket, an outdoor 25-yard lap pool, an indoor 50-meter competition pool, an indoor ADA compliant therapeutic multi-purpose, a food truck concessions area, AND a rooftop bar area with a great Henry County-esque view.

Key Features:

Indoor and Outdoor Pools: Temperature-controlled indoor pools for year-round use with two large screen monitors to help keep you up-to-date on all facility programs and events and outdoor pools with sun decks for enjoying the sun and fresh air with a big outdoor screen facing the waterpark areas.

Waterpark: A thrilling waterpark with water slides, zero entry pool, lazy river, splash pad, and a wave rider for families and thrill-seekers.

Aquatic Fitness & Therapy Center: Specialized areas for water aerobics, aquatic yoga, and low-impact workouts, promoting fitness and joint health.
