The Winchester Parks and Recreation Department would like for you to share your talent or skill with us and the community. If you have an interest or skill such as Arts & Crafts, Fitness, WSI Swimming instructors or any subject which would be of recreational or educational interest, please call 662-4946. We are looking for volunteers and paid instructors. We hope you will join us.

Are you looking for that something special to give your loved one? Why not give them a punch pass to the Outdoor Pool, a monthly pass for the Fitness Room or Indoor Pool, or there is always the option of a gift certificate usable for the variety of classes and workshops offered by the Recreation Department. Just give us a call for further details at 662-4946.

Thank you for visiting the Winchester Parks & Recreation Department’s homepage. Our website contains important information about the Department, its activities, special events, cancellations, and our user groups. 

The Winchester Parks & Recreation Department has a variety of youth, adult and senior activities scheduled and we encourage you to take advantage of our offerings.

The Department is currently working with several community partners to build new and revitalize existing park facilities. Our projects include a 21,000 square foot Active Living and Recreation Center addition to the War Memorial Building in Jim Barnett Park. The Winchester Active Living and Recreation Center project will be home to the Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging Winchester Senior Center and will include a large fellowship hall, new restroom facilities, an expanded lobby area, a commercial kitchen, upgraded parking and a gymnasium. Construction is expected to be completed in the summer ’08. Other park projects include the revitalization of Frederick Douglass Park (winter ’07-‘08) and the indoor pool dehumidifier replacement (spring ’08.) We have just completed renovations to the War Memorial Building fitness room and I invite you to stop by and check out our new renovations.   

Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to serving you.
