Airway Heights Parks & Rec
Improving the quality of life for Airway Heights residents
Airway Heights Parks & Recreation is dedicated to providing our residents and community members with the best service, programs, and facilities possible! We are honored to serve this great community, and promise to work hard everyday to improve the quality of life of our residents and community members through safe programs, inviting parks, and facilities. We truly appreciate your trust and support.
CARES works to promote the Airway Heights Parks & Recreation Department’s mission of creating community and quality of life for all residents by supporting the development of quality recreational facilities, and programs for youth and adults in the greater Airway Heights area. Through enhanced community outreach, partnerships, and contributions, CARES collaborates and connects those that share in the mission of improving our community through people, parks, and programs.
This summer we are again officially proclaiming July as Park & Recreation Month, and encouraging our community to visit local parks and recreation areas. These areas and the professionals who maintain and operate them play a vital role in bringing people together, providing essential services and fostering the growth of our community. Since 1985, the National Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) has encouraged communities across the Country to celebrate July as parks and reaction month.
Airway Heights Parks & Recreation serves as a Community Wellness Hub for members of the greater West Plains community, connecting all members of the community to programs and services that advance health equity, improve health outcomes, and enhance quality of life.
MY REC STROY
DASHA
Dasha and her family came to the United States in April of 2022 as refugees from Ukraine. Looking for a place for Dasha to be around children her age, she was enrolled in the after school program here at the Recreation Center later that May. Through language barriers, adapting to a new home, and the challenge of making friends, she made her way through the remainder of the school year.
