    PUBLIC NOTICE

    Please be advised that the Metter-Candler Recreation Department is closed to the public until further notice. Damage from Hurricane Helene makes the park unsafe at this time. The county is evaluating the damage, including debris, metal, glass & trees that impact nearly all playing surfaces and will determine a recovery timeline.

    As a result, we regret to inform all participants that the Fall Recreation Season will be cancelled. All participants will receive a refund of their registration fees in the next few weeks. This decision was not made lightly, but the safety of our residents and children is our primary concern.

    The Jack Strickland Building will be open and accessible for early voting beginning Monday, October 15th. We encourage all eligible voters in Candler County to get out and vote this year. Please follow the Candler County Probate Court for announcements about this year's elections.

    Please continue to follow this page and the Metter-Candler Recreation Department page for additional announcements regarding the recreation department and our facilities.
