HELP US SUSTAIN THE FUTURE
West Virginia's Brooke Hills Park serves over 25,000 visitors per year. Formerly known as “Happy Hills Farm”, the Gist Family willed 750 acres to the county.
The
Brooke County Parks and Recreation Commission is responsible for directing the resources of the park.
The Commission is composed of men and women who diligently work to preserve, expand, and creatively utilize the natural assets of the park to benefit county residents and visitors to our state.
A large volunteer base and small staff work together with community partners and sponsors to cater to the interests of individuals, families, and employers seeking educational, historical, sporting, therapeutic, horticultural, social, and recreational outlets.
