Healthy aging is about more than exercise—it's about staying active, staying informed, and staying connected.
This summer, Augusta County Parks & Recreation is offering several opportunities designed with older adults in mind:

𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 now meets 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀—giving you even more flexibility to fit fitness into your week. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝘂ly 𝟮𝟬.

Curious about ALL things Parks & Recreation? Come see us at Draft Days - A Day of Play — our annual Day of Play for ALL ages!

Join us Saturday, June 6 from 11AM–3PM at Stuarts Draft Park for a full day of fun featuring community organizations, local programs, emergency vehicles, live demonstrations, food vendors, recreation booths, and activities for all ages.

We’ll also have a rock wall, a 77-foot obstacle course, a Nerf arena, soccer darts, a gaming truck, live music, and more happening throughout the park all day long.

Dogs are welcome.

Beavers are… still under review.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have important beaver business to attend to.

On Wednesday, our offices will close early at 3:30 PM so staff can attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Augusta County Courthouse.

This is a significant milestone for our community, and all are welcome to attend and help celebrate this new chapter in Augusta County's history.

If you're planning to be in Verona that day, make a lunchtime stop at Food Truck Wednesday before the ceremony. This week's featured truck is Battarbee's — serving up classic favorites and a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Some things mark the beginning of a new era. Some things remind us why we love the old ones.

Wednesday
Food Truck Wednesday: 11 AM–2 PM
Courthouse Ribbon Cutting: 4PM
County offices close at 3:30 PM

We look forward to celebrating this historic occasion with our community.

Augusta County will celebrate the opening of the new courthouse with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house on June 3 at 4pm. An open house will follow the ceremony and public areas of the building will be open for viewing until 7pm. Join us for this historic event!
