Recreation
A YEAR-ROUND POSSIBILITY
You don’t have to look far for a good time! Numerous recreational activities
can be found in and around Warner Robins. The north Georgia Mountains are
just a few miles away providing excellent hiking, camping and just plain-old
adventure. If you feel like heading to the beach you’ll be happy to
know that the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic are as close as the mountains,
roughly a 3 to 4 hour drive. And of course there are major league sports and
a host of other attractions in Atlanta ...a quick 105 miles away! If hunting
is your game, you are in an area that has a year-round climate perfect for
outdoor activities. The area has an excellent variety and abundance of wildlife:
deer, turkey, dove, rabbit, squirrel and quail. Fishing is also a local favorite
pastime; the big game fish in the Warner Robins area is the large mouth bass.
In Warner Robins you can catch a movie at one of our two movie theaters,
watch a play at one of the local theatres, or learn about aviation at the
Museum of Aviation. Our town also has bowling alleys, tennis courts, night
spots, and plenty of parks. You may choose to watch or participate in a wide
array of local sports including; football, softball, soccer, baseball, golf,
tennis, basketball, fishing, hunting, bowling and a few more.
A DAY AT THE PARK
The lure of beautiful weather, clean air, and acres and acres of luxurious
green space combined, is simply too enticing a temptation to ignore. Warner
Robins has numerous parks for those taken with spring fever or the call of
the wild. Many residents and visitors enjoy exploring all the outdoor options,
the Warner Robins Recreation Department is located near the city government
complex at 800 Watson Boulevard. Beyond information and maps, the department
building also offers an activity room, youth center, ceramic shop, and gymnasium.
