It is an exciting time to be in Yorktown and experience the great things our community has to offer. You can enjoy the more than 40 miles of nature trails, go fishing at Sparkle Lake or step onto one of our state-of-the-art athletic fields at our Granite Knolls Sports Complex. The Yorktown Parks and Recreation Department provides a wide range of programs for all ages. This guide provides an array of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, learn a new skill or meet new friends. Soon our great staff will be introducing online registration for our programs, camps and other recreational services. Yorktown is a beautiful community where our parks and recreation programs are second to none. Having access to our parks, the outdoors and recreational services for all ages is a quality of life issue. Whether you participate in one of our great programs, or just enjoy time outside, Yorktown is a great place to come play, experience and enjoy.
