The mission of the Greeneville Parks & Recreation Department is to offer recreational activities, special events, and a parks system to enhance the physical well-being of our community.

Greeneville Parks & Recreation games, practices, and activities should be a positive experience for everyone involved. Values like courtesy and respect do not interfere with the competitiveness of the game. We should all strive to lead our children by good examples. Let us be more concerned with developing character than winning a game.
