The
City of
New Smyrna
Beach Parks & Recreation Department contributes
significantly to the high quality of life we all
enjoy, through a wide range of leisure services.
Both passive and active recreational facilities
abound in the area with twelve full service
parks where one can play tennis, racquetball,
shuffleboard, cast a fishing line or just relax. A full
compliment of general, instructional, competitive
and special recreation programs are available
throughout the year. Cultural events, including
art shows, band concerts, community events and
others are also featured during the year. We are
proud that there is something for everyone.
