The mission of the Worcester County Department of Recreation & Parks is to provide a variety of quality recreational programs, pristine parks, and facilities to enrich the lives of citizens.

The Worcester County Recreation Center, located at John Walter Smith Park in Snow Hill, includes a climate controlled 47,000 square-foot multi-purpose fitness arena.  Housed within are the offices of the Recreation & Parks staff, along with a 520 seat arena with two multipurpose athletic courts, six basketball hoops, indoor soccer/lacrosse courts, and a four lane walking/jogging track. 

The flooring system throughout the gym was designed for an increased return of energy that is highly efficient for exercise partipants, runner and track participants.  The shock-absorbing cushion provides a floor that is ideal for walkers and joggers and particularly those who suffer from arthritis or have past injuries.

The track is open to everyone during the hours of operation.  The gymnasium is available for open recreation around the scheduled Worcester County programs.
