Waynesboro Parks & Recreation operates a large park system which includes 6 parks and a number of facilities including a community center, pool, 1.2 miles of greenway, 4 miles of water trail, 9-hole disc golf course, soccer fields, diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds, shelters, and trails. Numerous projects are also at various stages of conception and completion which will improve access and opportunities for all residents and visitors to our community. Parks are open to the public from dawn to dusk every day of the year with few exceptions. 

Shelters may be rented by the public to host private events such as birthday parties, reunions, company picnics, and the like. However, private events requiring additional space outside of the shelter or other accommodations may be required to submit a Special Event Application. Parks and Rec staff can help make that determination 540-942-6735. 

Organizations considering park grounds or any City owned property (streets, sidewalks, parking lots, etc) for a public event will need to submit a special events application for approval. Special rates may apply.  special permit (guidelines)
