It is the mission of the Rocky Hill Parks and Recreation Department to provide comprehensive recreational and park programs to all ages at a reasonable cost to improve the quality of life for the residents of Rocky Hill. The goals of the Department are to improve health benefits, enhance self esteem, reduce stress, and provide life skills for all Rocky Hill residents. The programs are intended to promote family unity, reduce crime, strengthen neighborhood involvement, and provide safe, developed parks where these programs can take place and where residents can renew their spirits in natural settings.
