Terrence Ramsey Recreation Services
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.
