On behalf of the City of Rock Springs and all staff members within the Parks and Recreation Department, I would like to invite you to any and all facilities that we operate.  It is our hope that you will find activities and programs that interest you, and assist you in your quest for fun and fitness.  Our mission is to “ Enhance the Quality of Life in Rock Springs ” , and we intend to follow through with this mission each and every day. 

     Whether it’s the smaller atmosphere of the Civic Center that attracts you, or the wide expanse of the Family Recreation Center, our interest is in providing a suitable place for you to recreate.  From cardio-equipment to climbing walls, organized fitness classes to the indoor walking track, the indoor ice skating rink to the gymnasiums, racquetball to the swimming pools, and from the weight rooms to the Jacuzzis, opportunities abound in our recreation facilities.

      Many other exciting opportunities are made available to our community through our Recreation Department.  From young children thru seniors, there are numerous leagues, special events and activities available to all.

     If outdoor activities such as golf, softball and baseball interest you, then the Wataha Recreation Area is the place for you.  This outdoor recreation area boasts some of the finest playing conditions found in the region.  White Mountain Golf Course continues to provide golfing opportunities and challenges to beginners and seasoned players alike.

     If you are just looking for fresh air and relaxation, please visit one of our nineteen different neighborhood and community parks. Our Parks Department has parks located in all areas of the city.  Most offer playgrounds, picnic areas and plenty of open grass areas.

     Whatever your interest is when it comes to recreation, the RS parks and recreation department is here to serve you.  Please visit our entire Parks and Recreation website, as all five departments have provided information.   I would also encourage you to send us your suggestions at any time.  I will see to it personally that every effort is made to make your recreational opportunities in Rock Springs enjoyable, safe and healthy!
