Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen announced on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, that North Carolina will remain in Safer at Home Phase 2 for three more weeks. During this time, Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department will remain closed to the public.
We understand the disappointment. Recreation is our business and our responsibility, therefore we are keeping our facilities, 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 recommendations in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
The current status of Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks facilities includes:
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 (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter) and website at http://ci.henderson.nc.us/departments/recreation_and_parks/.
