Southern Pines Recreation & Parks Department offers you a multitude of opportunities to get up, get moving, and enjoy yourself. Whether you are walking for fitness, taking the dog out, or checking out the latest storefronts in downtown Southern Pines, we applaud you. Thanks to the generous support of Moore Regional Hospital Auxiliary, Southern Pines Recreation & Parks Department has mapped out several walking routes for you, your family and friends.

Each route takes you past various parks, playgrounds, and downtown highlights which will make this a fun venue for adults and children alike. The colorful and glossy brochures is available in the Recreation Office, Southern Pines Library, or visit our website at www.southernpines.net

Sandhurst Park boasts the newest addition of Southern Pines Recreation & Parks Departments greenway trail system. This section loops along a split rail fence close to Indiana Avenue before heading back to the parking lot, playground, and covered picnic shelter.
