What’s IT All About?

“It Starts in the PARKS!” This simple yet powerful phrase captures the heart of everything we do here at Clayton County Parks & Recreation. It’s a reminder that parks aren’t just places to visit—they’re where life happens. They’re where kids learn teamwork and leadership through sports. Where adults get active, creative, and find wellness. Where families bond over nature, tranquility, and outdoor adventures. And, of course, where fun is always just around the corner at the Beach at International Park!

From athletic programs that teach sportsmanship and camaraderie to our recreation centers that promote fitness, creativity, and overall wellness—each experience you have here contributes to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. And let’s not forget Reynolds Nature Preserve, a place that invites you to explore, unwind, and discover balance in the great outdoors.

We truly believe that all of these experiences—whether you’re on the field, in a fitness class, or enjoying the beauty of nature—are what make us a community. “It Starts in the PARKS!” is more than just a slogan; it’s the spirit of Clayton County.
