In the process, our volunteers help strengthen our community and solidify Johnson City as a great place to live work and PLAY.

Did You Know?

Parks provide intrinsic environmental, aesthetic and recreation benefits to our city. They are a source of positive economic benefits. They enhance property values, increase municipal revenue, bring in homebuyers and workers and improve the quality of life for our citizens.

Disclaimer Programs are sometimes canceled or altered due to low registration, changes in staff or facility availability.

Due to the large amount of information found in the Johnson City Parks and Recreation Fun Guide, errors before or after publication may occur. We apologize for any errors in this brochure and we will advise you of any changes as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Warning of Risk Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant.

In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the city of Johnson City to guarantee absolute safety.

All participants are expected to follow facility rules. Specialty areas, such as, pools, mountain bike trails and fitness areas, have posted signs stating special rules specific to that area. Disregard or abuse of facility rules may result in removal by staff or police from the facility for a designated length of time or permanently.
