ROCKDALE COUNTY PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release April 23, 2025
Rockdale County Parks & Recreation Formally Launches “The Rec ‘N’ Crew”
ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. –Rockdale County Parks and Recreation is excited to introduce The Rec ‘N’ Crew, a mobile recreation program designed to bring fun, games, and engaging activities directly to parks and green spaces throughout the county — all on wheels! This program is the first of its kind in Rockdale County and only the fifth in Georgia.
Specifically trained staff, known as “The Crew,” will travel with the mobile unit and deploy a variety of structured games, sports, arts & crafts, and cooperative activities for youth of all ages.
The Rec ‘N’ Crew is a free program dedicated to connecting and creatively engaging with the community. It offers youth the chance to play, learn, and socialize — all outside the walls of a traditional recreation center. A surprise premiere of the program occurred on April 19th during the Easter Extravaganza event at The Lawn @ Wheeler Park, where it received rave reviews. The official launch will occur May 17th at Pine Log Park (1451 Pine Log Rd, Conyers, 30012).
The program’s mission is simple: to promote health, wellness, socialization, and fun for ALL Youth throughout the community. The importance of playing improves physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It helps prevent childhood obesity and provides a sense of confidence and reduced feelings of isolation.
Rec ‘N’ Crew will operate seasonally, during the Spring and Summer months, so be sure to follow Rockdale County Parks and Recreation on social media and check our website for the latest monthly calendar and stop locations!
