Welcome

It's hard to say there's nothing to do in Cobb County, whether you care to walk, ride, play or relax. If you like the outdoors, we have sports parks, walking trails and golf courses. If you prefer climate-controlled fun, we have indoor swimming pools, basketball gyms and even our own cultural centers. And if you just want to be entertained, world-famous acts regularly stop here to perform at our stage theatre or our outdoor amphitheatre.

We support team and individual play, coach individual excellence and sportsmanship and promote environmental awareness. Welcome to the Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department, where fun is easy to find.
