ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA– Rockdale County Parks and Recreation is rolling out 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.
The 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 and 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 kids the chance to play, learn, and socialize — all outside the walls of a traditional recreation center. The program’s mission is simple: to promote health, wellness, socialization, and fun all youths 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.
Rockdale residents got a surprise premiere of the new program on April 19 during the county’s Easter Extravaganza event at The Lawn at Wheeler Park. The official launch will take place on May 17 at Pine Log Park, 1451 Pine Log Road, Conyers.
Rec ‘N’ Crew will operate seasonally during the Spring and Summer months.
