A statement from the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department:
Although NC Governor Roy Cooper issued a “soft opening” throughout the state, the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department will remain closed to the public at this time.
While the order does reference the opening of parks, it is recommended that additional precautions be taken for community gatherings and that playgrounds remain closed.
Recreation is our business and our responsibility, therefore we are keeping our parks and playground equipment “closed” but will continue to encourage you to utilize the walking trails and tracks we have to offer.
We are asking our Henderson-Vance community to continue to practice social distancing in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
Below is a list of Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Facilities and their status.
Closed:
- Aycock Recreation Center
- Aycock Aquatic Center
- Old Aycock Gym – Indoor Facility
- Fox Pond Park
- All Satellite Sites
- First Presbyterian Church
- Vance County Senior Center
- All Playground Equipment and Structures
Remaining Open:
- All Outdoor Parks, Trails and Tracks (excluding Fox Pond Park)
Henderson-Vance Recreation & Parks will monitor the situation and make an assessment on when it is safe to reopen some or all of the affected facilities. Updates about facilities, classes/programs and events will be available on our social media platforms and website at http://ci.henderson.nc.us/departments/recreation_and_parks/.
