Dare County Family Recreation Park

In addition to soccer and baseball, other sports programs it hosts are gymnastics, football, ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, softball, fishing, surfing and volleyball. The Northern Beach division of the Youth Center also co-sponors a number of teaching camps and activities in archery, etiquette, golf, music and the arts - along with sailing and other water sports - to name only a few.

Family Recreation Park is located behind Outer Banks Brewing Station and is within walking distance of the Kill Devil Hills Library and Post Office, the Baum Center and Kill Devil Hills Cooperative Gallery, which also offers arts and craft classes for kids. It’s also near both First Flight Middle and First Fligh High School.
