    Our purpose is to manage outdoor passive space and provide outdoor recreation and education opportunities that enhance quality of life, provide technical training, and facilitate individual and group development. We seek to serve members of the surrounding communities, Forsyth County Board of Education and its students, as well as professionals in the field of outdoor education. We strive to provide safe, environmentally sound, and effective programs and services through competent personnel in compliance with accepted industry standards.

    The Outdoor Recreation Division offers instruction in white water kayaking, recreational canoe and kayak, rock climbing, tree climbing, mountain biking and caving. The division also offers environmental education programs that focus on nature awareness and environmental science. Classes, camps, special events and school based programs are held year round and differ depending on the season. Please see the links on the left for detailed information about our programs.

    The Outdoor Recreation Division currently manages the Sawnee Mountain Preserve and Visitor Center, Passive Parks and Greenspace properties and the Mountain Bike Trail at Central Park.
