The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Affairs 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 The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Affairs.

The Deparment of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Affairs 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 three collaborative divisions: Administration, Recreation Services, and Park Services. We all work together towards the vision and mission of
