FREE - Story Time at Noble Park!


Get ready for a fun morning in the park! The Sylacauga Parks & Recreation invites families to a special Story Time with Friends on Thursday, June 18 at 10:00 AM at Noble Park, featuring Mirabel!

Children will have the opportunity to listen to a story or two about Mirabel, and after story time, families are invited to stick around for photos with Mirabel, playtime on the playground, and loads of fun in a bouncy house provided by our generous sponsor, A & B Party Rentals.

This free community event is perfect for families with young children and promises a morning full of imagination and fun.

Don’t miss this magical morning at Noble Park—where stories come to life and memories are made!


Food Truck Friday season is HERE!

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. Classes are currently taught by Ben Cleveland.

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.
