DeKalb County's Parks and Recreation Department works together with nationally recognized consultants, community, business and government leaders as well as citizens of DeKalb County, to create signature parks and recreational facilities that will enhance the image of DeKalb County and its park system.

We are proud to share the many accomplishments of DeKalb County's Parks and Recreation Department. This site features our outstanding park system which includes: 130 parks consisting of approximately 6,000 acres of parkland and open space, 151 playgrounds, 2 golf courses, 105 tennis courts, 90 pavilions, 158 ball fields, 11 recreational facilities, and even more.

The Parks and Recreation Department understands that parks are not only important to the quality of life, but they are also assets that increase DeKalb County's desirability as a place to live, work and play.

Our department is divided into four collaborative divisions: Administration, Park Planning and Development, Recreation Services, and Park Services. We all work together towards the vision and mission of "Creating and connecting communities through people, parks and programs."
