Parks & Recreation

Our Mission

The Department of Parks & Recreation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life, assuring the sense of community, and providing leisure services to Culpeper County residents of all ages. 

NOW AVAILABLE!!! Recreation Scholarships
Parks & Recreation strives to serve as many County residents as possible. Recognizing that financial constraints can make it difficult for some residents to attend recreation programs, this policy is to establish a criterion in order to provide assistance to those in need. Funds used to provide financial assistance and scholarships will come from donations given by the community and from budgeted appropriations by the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Athletics Division strives to provide quality affordable youth and adult athletic programming options for our residents. Thanks to the efforts of our staff, volunteers, and community members the Parks & Recreation Department is able to offer a variety of unique and diverse sports programs, camps, and clinics while also providing outstanding athletic facilities.

The Cultural and Special Events Division provides “quality of life” programming for our community’s toddlers, preschoolers, teens, adults and our active adults. In addition, the Division plans and operates several signature countywide special events including; the Culpeper Cycling Century & Tour, Wicked Bottom 5K and ½ Mile Fun Run, Moonlight Halloween Candy Hunt, Eggstravaganza, and more!!!

The Parks Services Division manages and maintains the County’s many pristine parks, trail systems, and recreational facilities including; Culpeper Sports Complex, Lenn Park, Spilman Park, Mountain Run Lake Park, Linda-Kite Cutler Memorial Park, and Kirkpatrick Park.  In total, the Park Services Division maintains over 220-acres of parkland, nine (9) playgrounds, over 12-miles of multi-use trails, six (6) shelters, and 20 Bermuda athletic fields.

Just like the Culpeper County Parks & Recreation tagline, the Department, with the support of the Board of Supervisors, is taking the necessary  steps to ensure that people want to “LIVE HERE” and “PLAY HERE.”  As always, we would like to thank all of the residents, organizations, civic clubs, Board of Supervisors, volunteers, and businesses for their continued support and dedication.

LIVE HERE. PLAY HERE.
