Welcome to York Parks & Recreation

The mission of the York Parks and Recreation Department (YPRD) is to promote health and wellness of families and the community in all of its diversity. The Parks division is responsible for the operations and maintenance of public buildings and grounds, parks, beaches, recreation facilities and all athletic fields. The Recreation division offers a wide variety of comprehensive community enrichment programs, popular camps, and tremendously successful and well attended events for participants of all ages. Collectively, we are committed to building a vibrant community and our citizens of tomorrow.

Mount Agamenticus

Since 1999 conservation work at Mount Agamenticus has focused on protecting the natural resources of the area by managing recreational use, remediating trails and habitats, and educating the public.

Thanks to the collaborative conservation efforts of many partners, volunteers, and donors, Mount A has become a wonderful place for the local community to enjoy the outdoors, experience its scenic beauty, and to appreciate its significance as one of “Maine’s Last Great Places.”
