Parks & Recreation
We have noticed a few things since our doors closed...we are not "Us" without "U!" Check out https://youtu.be/qy5zc6cehV0 for this tribute to our patrons! New programming also includes arts & crafts for Astronomy Day, workouts and a variety of therapeutic activities for those with disabilities, reading resources for children, and the world of NASA at your fingertips! These programs and more are posted on our new Virtual Programming page where you’ll find fun activities for all ages to do at home, in your yard, or in our parks. Let us help you keep your spirits high and your mind and body well. The list is updated weekly! https://jamescitycountyva.gov/3765/Virtual-Programming
James City County has a variety of opportunities available in our parks to maintain your mental wellness and connect to nature during these challenging times. Visit https://jamescitycountyva.gov/civicalerts.aspx?AID=3804 to learn what’s open and closed. Please note: James City County’s tennis courts and pickleball courts are open; however, please note the courts are open for singles play only. The tennis courts are located at Jamestown High School, Warhill High School and Lafayette High School. At Veterans Park, only the eight pickle ball courts are open, 7 a.m. to sunset daily. To ensure we can continue to offer these and more physical fitness and recreational opportunities, please follow social distancing guidelines - maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet and groups of more than 10 will be asked to separate.
