AUGUST 2023

The Clay County Division of Parks and Recreation's mission is to provide residents and visitors with an enjoyable recreational experience. Our primary goal is to provide safe, easily accessible, and well-maintained facilities that meet the community’s needs.

We invite you to explore the many ways that Parks and Recreation are making our communities happier and healthier. Parks are a place where people come together, and communities grow stronger.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Students and teachers return to the classroom this August for a new academic year.  Keep an eye out for fall programs and activities, and visit our athletics page to learn more about local baseball, softball, soccer, football, and cheerleading at our athletic complexes through local athletic associations.

EVENTS RECAP

Thank you to everyone who participated in our activities during the month of July!  We hope to see you at future events with Parks and Recreation!

Touch a Truck- What Moves Clay...

CAMP CHOWENWAW

History Walk - August 19th

A History Walk will be held at 9:30am at Camp Chowenwaw Park.  Participants will meet at the Big Cabin, located on the waterfront. Get a sneak peek inside the historic Big Cabin and learn about the history of the camp and how it was built as key locations are visited.

The Camp Pool is still open!

Parks Maintenance

Our incredible Parks Maintenance Team is hard at work every day to take care of our facilities.  Our slides at Ronnie Van Zant Park have been replaced and are back open for the little ones to enjoy, and new slides have been installed at Moccasin Slough Park in Fleming Island.

Emergency Management

It is hurricane season- Utilize these important resources to be prepared.

Florida may be the Sunshine State, but Floridians are no strangers to emergency preparedness. Being ready for disasters can make all the difference. The Emergency Management Division is responsible for developing, implementing, and managing countywide disaster response, recovery, mitigation, risk reduction, prevention, and preparedness planning.
