PARKS & RECREATION

​
The residents and youth of our area are provided with a variety of sports programs such as Little League baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, and cheerleading. Our department also offers an array of activities such as summer day camps, sports camps as well as numerous family-friendly festivals at our amphitheater located near the historic square downtown.

THE RIDGE AT LAURENS
The Ridge at Laurens officially opened to the public in 2016 and is the newest facility in the Parks and Recreation Department. We are proud to call "The Ridge" the new home for our Parks Department. You can now use The Ridge to register for youth sports in person or you can visit the official Parks and Recreation website to register online and to see events and schedules.
​
The gymnasiums will now be the home courts for our youth basketball and volleyball programs. The public is also invited to join us each week for "Free Basketball" where players of all ages can come and enjoy the courts.
