Villa Rica Parks & Recreation

Last week, members from the Villa Rica and Paulding Senior Centers came together for our annual “Battle of the Seniors” Co****le Tournament!

Thank you to PruittHealth for sponsoring the prizes and PruittPlace - Carrollton for bringing residents to cheer on and support our competitors!

Congratulations to the Lady Wildcats softball team on last night's win!

We want to thank the staff and players for recognizing our Little Wildcats softball players and for allowing them to be a part of the Wildcat family.

Wishing you all good luck at tonight's game verses Cartersville.

Tomorrow is the day!! Tuesday, August 25th!

FREE banana splits. Come see us at the Senior Center Cafeteria located at Gold Dust Park (646 Industrial Blvd, Villa Rica)

It’s hot outside, so VR Seniors are inside sippin’ & chillin’ with (non-alcoholic 😉) drinks and beach jams! 🍹🏖️

Due to the heat advisory today (8/17/26), all outdoor practices have been cancelled.

We are keeping a very close eye on this heat advisory and will be making decisions on a daily basis. Please keep an eye on this site and your emails as we will make final calls after lunch this afternoon.
