Hancock County Parks and Recreation

Gear up, Hancock County! As the weather warms up and the riding season kicks into high gear, we want to make sure all our local riders stay safe on the open road this summer. ​Join the Hancock County Parks and Recreation Board for our very first Blessing of the Bikes event!
​This special gathering is dedicated to the safety, protection, and fellowship of our local motorcycling community. Together, we will share a moment of reflection and a collective prayer, asking for clear roads, watchful eyes, and a safe return home for every rider after every journey this season. The prayer will be given by Pastor Jeremy McClimans of Kings Creek Union Chapel. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with them and bring this event to the community.

Mark those calendars and help us spread the word! ✝️🏍🙏

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Today is a great reminder that our community is only as beautiful as we make it. Whether it's picking up litter on your morning walk, supporting a local park, or just enjoying the fresh air, every small act helps keep our home green. Let’s take care of our little corner of the world today and every day! 🌱

Remember, if you pack it in, pack it out!

Several weeks ago, we issued a communication regarding the Gas Valley Park pavilion. We regret to inform you that recent storm activity in March caused significant damage to the pavilion. As a result, the structure was deemed unsafe and necessitated removal. Effective immediately, and until further notice, pavilion rentals at Gas Valley Park are suspended. We will provide updates as we progress through the rebuilding process. Thank you!
