The Black Mountain community places a strong emphasis on the provision of quality recreation and parks services. The beautiful natural environment of the surrounding mountains provide the perfect backdrop for the year-round recreational opportunities. In an effort to carry out their mission and to provide for the enhancement of mountain living, the Black Mountain Recreation and Parks Department provides a variety of recreation and leisure activities, special events, facilities and parks that contribute to health, fitness, relaxation, enjoyment and community fellowship for the citizens of the Town of Black Mountain, neighboring communities and visitors to our town. Recreational pursuits are important to our community's quality of life. With a staff of five full-time employees and a number of seasonal employees/volunteers, we endeavor to provide recreational opportunities that are second to none
