Established in 1986, the Green River Parks & Recreation Department has spent decades keeping our community active, healthy, and happy. We manage over 750 acres of parks and green spaces around the city and run a 54,000-square-foot Recreation Center that opened in 1986. Our mission is to promote an active community, strong families, and a high quality of life by providing safe, affordable parks, facilities, and programs – in other words, we make sure boredom never stands a chance in Green River. We like to say our job is all about “Fun, Fitness, Fellowship,” and we mean it. Whether you’re splashing in the pool, skating on a Friday night, or hiking our pathways, we’re here to help you enjoy life in Green River to the fullest. In 2020, our team’s dedication paid off on the national stage – we were honored as a finalist (and went on to win!) the National Gold Medal Award for excellence in parks and recreation. In fact, we’re the first Parks & Rec agency in Wyoming to ever bring home that Gold Medal honor (think of it as the Oscars of parks and rec – and yes, we’re still glowing with pride). But awards aside, we’re mostly proud to serve you – the Green River community – every day. Come out and play with us… because having fun is a way of life here in Green River!
