The First Stop Upcoming Events What's Ahead

The City of Alexandria’s Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities (RPCA) is proud to introduce Where You Belong, a citywide campaign focused on creating more welcoming, inclusive, and community-centered recreation experiences throughout Alexandria.

“Where You Belong” is more than a new look for Alexandria’s recreation centers. It represents the beginning of a broader vision and investment in the future of recreation, from refreshed and welcoming facilities to innovative programming and new ways of engaging residents and supporting community well-being.

This vision includes:

• Welcoming recreation facilities that reflect and celebrate Alexandria’s diverse communities.
• Strategic facility improvements and investments that create inviting, accessible spaces.
• Innovative recreation programs that respond to the interests, needs, and aspirations of the community.
• Meaningful engagement that gives residents opportunities to participate, share ideas, and build relationships.
• Health and wellness opportunities that support active lifestyles and overall well-being.
• A renewed approach to recreation that considers not only where people play, but how recreation can help people connect, grow, and thrive.
