We will be re-sending out our recreation needs survey to help support the application of the PARTF grant for the Little White Oak Mt. Mountain Bike Trail. Please keep your eye out for this quick & easy way to support the department!

This spring sports season, if your family cannot afford the registration fee, please reach out to us; we have some sponsorships we can apply to your registration fees. The spring sports dates are as follows, although they are tentative and subject to change.

Practices are underway now, and we have our first softball team that we've had in recent years! Thanks everyone for signing up and showing your support for the program. If you registered and have not heard from your coach yet, please call us so we can confirm your contact info.

Registration is open and HAS BEEN EXTENDED! You can register online and in-person through March 5th.

Practices will begin mid-March and games will be held in April-May.

We are partnering with P2 Soccer this summer to bring soccer camps to the county! Registration is open now; for more info or to register, VISIT THE P2 WEBSITE. Stay tuned for other summer offerings.

Our trail at the Recreation Complex is temporarily closed as we finalize the route, add signage and trail markers, and create a hiker bypass! Please respect the closure to minimize impact to the trail at this time.

We will be updating our calendar soon as we finalize our March Trail Workdays.

If you would rather work on your own, feel free to walk a trail, picking up trash and moving small branches from the trails. Please don't cut any branches; if a trail needs more attention, email trails@polknc.org and we will take care of it or bring it to that trail manager's attention.

Every month, community stakeholders meet to share updates about area trails. The meetings are open to the public and are online.

Meeting ID: 457 308 8514

Most trails, if they are open, may not have public facilities that are open, so check ahead of time. If you are sick, PLEASE stay home. If a trail is crowded, please travel to a different spot so you can practice social distancing. Other trail courtesies also still apply: keep dogs on-leash, take your trash with you, etc. Thanks for doing your part!
