Rural Life Center Now Open

October 15, 2009

The Cooperative Extension Service announced today that the Rural Life Center is now open to the public. Though construction of some of the park's new features are still ongoing, citizens are welcome to begin using the existing facilities.

Located off of Spot Rd., the Rural Life Center features a large indoor equestrian arena, canal access to the Currituck Sound, stocked fishing pond and large outdoor recreational areas. Future plans include outdoor show rings, historical exhibits, spectator seating and walking trails.

The center is open to individuals from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and by reservation only on Saturday. In order to better accommodate groups/clubs - all groups/clubs should make reservations to utilize the center(reservations should be made at least two days in advance for Saturday or group riding).
