About Us

Read about the history of the Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority and how the variety of opportunities provided at our facilities has positioned the City of Dublin, GA, as a destination for recreation.

In 1999, local business owners and community members came together with the vision of creating a recreation complex that provided more than just grass on which to play sports.  The City of Dublin Recreation Department and the Laurens County Recreation Department were merged, and the Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority was born.

Since then, the Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority has invested time and resources into creating a first-class multi-purpose space that serves as a recreation destination for our community and visitors alike.  Southern Pines Regional Park, which sits on 120 acres of donated land, boasts a variety of recreational opportunities.  The park currently contains an Ag Expo and Arena, Southern Pines Water Park, 15 baseball / softball fields, football and soccer fields, pickleball courts, a playground, and two walking trails.

Our commitment to Dublin and Laurens County remains our focus as we continue to develop innovative ways to drive economic growth by positioning our community as a destination for all things recreation.
