Spring into Fun with Lexington Parks and Recreation
The weather is warming up, and Lexington Parks and Recreation is bringing a season full of fun, free, and family-friendly events!
“Spring is one of our favorite seasons of the year. People are getting back outside and looking for ways to get active after being cooped up inside all winter,” said Andrew Lance, Parks and Recreation Manager. “In addition to a full schedule of programs and athletics, we offer a number of events for people to enjoy as they get back outside, and the best part is they are all free and perfect for families and people of all ages.”
Whether you love being outdoors, art, science, or experiencing new cultures, there’s something exciting happening for everyone. Mark your calendars and don’t miss out! To learn more about the programs and athletics we offer, visit registration.lexingtonnc.gov.
