Throughout the 1950's general public recreational opportunities in both the City of Henderson and Vance County were extremely limited. There was no system of public parks nor were there any public recreational programs offered to Henderson or Vance County residents. Various civic clubs, and a semi-professional baseball league offered the only "public" recreational opportunities.

The growing need for community-wide recreation became more and more apparent and, as a result, a local Recreation Commission was established in 1970, with the first professional director hired in late 1970, early 1971. This Commission, in combination with many civic leaders and the local business community (particularly Harriet & Henderson Yarns, Inc.) set about the task of developing an extensive array of recreational programs, facilities and opportunities for Henderson and Vance County residents.

This "array" of recreational opportunities and facilities, which are proudly offered through the combined efforts of the City, Vance County and numerous other supporters and patrons, can be seen as you browse this portion of the city's website.
