Description
The Department works together with nationally recognized consultants, community, business and government leaders, as well as citizens of DeKalb County, to create signature parks and recreational facilities that will enhance the image of DeKalb County and its park system.
We are proud to share the many accomplishments of The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Affairs.
