Next up in our Department 101 series, Parks & Recreation: Explore. Connect. Belong.

Parks & Recreation is about much more than parks. From recreation programs, sports and special events to open spaces, arts, community facilities and volunteer and employment opportunities for local youth, there are many ways to connect with our community.

Whether that means participating in adaptive recreation, checking out Vaca-Con, celebrating at Merriment on Main, joining a class or sports program, enjoying time outdoors, or simply spending time with family and friends, Parks & Recreation helps create welcoming spaces and experiences for people of all ages, interests and abilities.

The department also looks ahead—planning for parks, facilities and open spaces that can continue serving our community for generations to come.

Take a few minutes to learn more about the people, programs and places that help make Vacaville a place to explore, connect and belong.
