Upcoming Event!



Sylacauga Parks and Recreation invites families to celebrate the end of summer at a Back to School Bash on Thursday, August 1, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at Noble Park. This free community event, sponsored by Curtis and Son Funeral Home, promises an evening full of fun, food, and festivities for all ages.

The event will feature live music from the ever-popular DJ Weechie, who will keep the party going with great tunes throughout the evening. Kids can enjoy a variety of activities including inflatables, the newly updated playground, and the skate park. A delicious selection of food will be available for purchase from some of the area’s favorite food trucks. Attendees can grab dinner or snacks from O’ My Turkey Leg, Aww Shucks, A Dab of This and A Dab of That, and Frost Bite Snacks.

A key feature of the evening is the 4th Annual Peyton Embry School Supply Giveaway, presented by Decorey Hale and The BlueHeart Foundation 334. This cherished tradition helps ensure local children are prepared for the upcoming school year. Organizers are proud to once again work alongside The BlueHeart Foundation to continue growing the event and expanding its impact. The giveaway is supported by a strong network of community partners, including The Right Step In Motion, LLC, Forever 24 Jordan L. Mathews Memorial Foundation, Sylacauga Kiwanis Club, Sylacauga Lions Club, Talladega County Republican Party, Club Etiquette Sylacauga Branch, and many others.

The Back to School Bash is a celebration of community connection and support for Sylacauga’s families. Everyone is invited to come out and enjoy a fun, festive evening while helping local children get ready for a successful school year.

Karate School

Sylacauga Karate School is a traditional style of martial arts affiliated with Yoshukai Karate International.

In 1971, Sensei Gene Henderson began teaching Yoshukai Karate at the Sylacauga Parks and Recreation Department. One of his students, Randy Caine, received his black belt and established the Sylacauga Karate School. The Sylacauga Karate School has been teaching this traditional style of karate in Sylacauga since 1971 and now returns to the Sylacauga Parks and Recreation where it began 51 years ago.

The current instructor, Shihan Daren Holland, 6th Dan, began his training in 1981 and brings his 41 years of karate knowledge to his students. He is assisted by many of the dojo's other black belts who themselves have years of experience.

The benefits of training at our dojo are many. Karate training gives you tools and techniques that could probably save your life if the situation arises. Karate prepares you to defend yourself from aggressors by giving you the senses to react quickly and effectively in dangerous or life-threatening situations.

The mental benefits of training in the martial arts are greater self-discipline, increased focus, improved mental toughness, perseverance, greater respect as well as more confidence, patience, and humility.

The fitness benefits include a total body workout that will improve cardiovascular health, coordination and reflexes, muscle tone, strength and power, stamina, flexibility, balance, and mobility. More energy, less stress, and improvements in sleep quality and posture are all benefits of karate training.

The Veterans' Honor Wall at Pinecrest Walking Track

If you haven't yet purchased a plaque but would like to honor someone, plaques can be purchased for $40 each and may contain 4 lines of text with 18 characters in each line. Spaces between words and punctuation count as characters. Anyone who has served or is presently serving may be honored with a plaque. We have plaques on the wall from soldiers who served in the Confederate Army up until present day. To see photos of the honor wall, look under "facilities".
 
To buy a plaque online, go to "programs", "Veterans' Honor Wall",  and choose the Pinecrest Walking Track Plaque. You may also drop by the J Craig Smith Community Center and we'll be happy to help you.
 
Besides the memorial, the park is an excellent place to have a picnic, just sit for a spell, or walk laps. 5 laps makes a mile.
