Mission Statement
To provide quality customer care for our community by offering the best healthy choices for Parks and Recreation services by promoting a safe and fun environment while creating memories and a sense of home.
Beginning September 29, some City of Rowlett offices and facilities will adopt new operating hours to better serve the needs of our customers. The Rowlett Community Centre is unaffected by this change and will continue operating on our current schedule.
ANNOUNCEMENTS/ALERTS:
- Due to recent storms, the nature trail will remain close while our staff works hard to get some trees cleaned up and make the trail safe for all to use. It will be opening SOON!

Rowlett is rich in the amenities that enhance all areas of our lives. Our Community Centre offers a state-of-the-art fitness center, multi-use courts, two gymnasiums, meeting and banquet rooms that are appropriate for weddings and corporate meetings, and a multitude of fitness programs and classes for all ages, from infants to seniors.
Our parks offer opportunities for low-cost entertainment, special events, recreation programs, sports, family outings, walking trails, fishing ponds, playgrounds, and pavilions and more.
We extend an invitation to you to take advantage of the fun and relaxation awaiting you through the Parks & Recreation Department of the City of Rowlett.
Our department is composed of the Recreation and Parks Divisions. With forty staff members and approximately 100 seasonal employees, our department is responsible for providing our citizens with opportunities for fun and relaxation. Our vision statement reflects how we feel about our citizens.
