Garner Parks and Recreation Department

The department organizes and performs a variety of youth and adult recreational programs. Check out the Youth Programs and Adult Programs pages to register! New activities, programs, and events are always being designed and implemented. Make sure to keep an eye on our social media pages to stay in-the-know!
