Local Parks: Greene County

The Greene County Park District and the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Arts are supported by one staff serving two separate, unique entities. The Greene County Park District, an autonomous body, supports and encourages conservation and preservation of our natural areas, parks and wildlife, while providing "passive" nature, environmental and educational programming to individuals, organizations and groups from the local school districts.

The Greene County Recreation, Parks and Cultural Arts Department is a county government agency that provides more "active" programming, including recreation, leisure, wellness, cultural arts, services, programs and special events.
