About Us: 

Farris Memorial Park is over 270 acres of open land, forests, and athletic fields that offer a variety of recreational activities.  The park includes 2 baseball fields, 2 soccer fields, two fishing ponds, an amphitheater, four picnic shelters, tennis courts, walking trails, concession stand and the only public Mountain Bike Trail in western Rockingham County.  For the golfer you can pull out your driver and knock some golf balls on our driving range, or if your short game needs work, try your hand on our putt-putt course!  Clubs and balls are available for rent.

Our latest addition is a three mile Mountain Bike Trail.  The trail ride takes you through switchbacks, over rock gardens, and small streams.  Most of the trail runs through hardwood and mixed pine forest.  Bring your own bike – or you can rent a bike for a nominal fee.
