WELCOME TO THE CITY OF Pensacola Parks AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT!

Around here, we're best known as Play Pensacola, your go to resource to know when and where to get out and play!

Following Hurricane Sally, all 93 of our parks and 11 resource centers closed to the public. In response, we created the map below to communicate the reopening of each site as deemed safe. Find out which of our parks and facilities are open by viewing our Open/Closure Map below. Our staff, alongside our incredible community volunteers, have worked hard to restore city parks and we are happy to share that we are almost at 100% reopening!

Friendly reminder: Play It Smart, Stay Six Feet Apart! We ask that you practice safe social distancing and wear a face covering at our sites to help keep everyone safe and thriving.

Sincerely,

Play Pensacola
