There are still a few spots available in our last swim lesson session of the season!
Don't miss your chance to register before summer wraps up. While you're planning your schedule, be sure to check out our cheer and painting & drawing classes, too!

See the original post below for details and registration information.

Every kid shines differently—and that's exactly why we love summer programs.

Some find confidence in the pool.
Some find it on the sidelines.
Some find it with a paintbrush in hand.

From Swim Lessons to Cheer and Painting & Drawing, Augusta County Parks & Recreation offers opportunities for kids to explore new interests, build skills, and have fun all summer long.

Swim Lessons July 6-July 16
Cheer Camp July 13 - July 17
Painting & Drawing July 6 - July 10

The countdown has almost begun...

The new pickleball courts at Stuarts Draft Park are getting closer every day! While they're not quite ready for play yet, construction is moving along and we're hopeful they'll be completed by the end of the month.

In the meantime, feel free to swing by the park and check out the progress for yourself. And if you're stopping by tomorrow Saturday, June 6, you'll have the perfect excuse—Draft Days will be taking over the park from 11 AM–3 PM with games, activities, live entertainment, food vendors, and plenty of opportunities to play.

One exciting addition is on the horizon. One big day of play is happening tomorrow.

Why not check out both?

It's been an awesome few days at our pools! Thank you to everyone who has come out to swim, cool off, and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Don't forget — we have extended pool hours on Fridays this season, and the forecast looks perfect for a weekend at the pool!

Planning to visit more than once? Be sure to ask about our pool passes:

10-Visit Pass — $45
20-Visit Pass — $80

Pool passes can be shared, making them a great option for families. For example, a family of five can use a 10-visit pass for two trips to the pool and save about 10% compared to paying daily admission.

Even better, pool passes are valid at BOTH Augusta County public pools. Spend one day at Stuarts Draft Pool, then head to Natural Chimneys Park and Campground for your next visit and enjoy a different pool experience.

Summer is here — come make a splash with us!

Rain or shine… Stuart’s Draft Pool is OPEN today!

While the weather may be a little wetter on the other side of the county, conditions in Stuarts Draft are looking ok — and we’re excited to keep swim lessons on schedule, give our pool attendants some great early-season practice, and make the most of the day!

So yes… the pool is open.
For PEOPLE, Ace. (if you don't know Ace, he is our unofficial mascot that loves to make an entrance)

(Disclaimer: No actual beavers have ever been found in the pool.)

Well... Mother Nature had other plans for Opening Day.
Due to chilly temperatures and steady rain across the county, our pools will remain 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄, 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟯. We are hopeful for a sunnier start on Sunday!
