Altamont Recreation Commission

Altamont Recreation Commission The Altamont Recreation Commission's goal is to provide recreational activities for the youth in our community and improve the lives of our citizens.

The Altamont Recreation Commission does a variety of different programs, including free summer music shows. We help support the little league sports and other recreational programs. The Recreation Commission organizes the Turkey Box Drawings which are given away at Christmas time from the local businesses. The Recreation Commission has also purchased seasonal banners to decorate the downtown area.

We are a local champion for the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. With this program, we are able to mail age appropriate books to children in the Altamont zip code from birth to age 5 at no cost to the families. At this time, we are able to sponsor 60 children each month. Since starting the program in November 2011, we have mailed out over 3200 books. The Recreation Commission has made several improvements to the Altamont City Park in the last couple years. We have purchased new playground equipment, placed a new flagpole and refinished the basketball court. One of our newest events is the Halloween Boo Bash. It is held at the Altamont City Park the Saturday before Halloween. It is a family fun event with a costume contest, pumpkin decoration contest, kid's games, treats, door prizes and food. This event wouldn't be possible without donations from wonderful businesses in our community. For more information, contact the City Office at 620-784-5612 or visit our website at www.altamontks.com.

Celebrating 30 Years of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!🎉

For 30 years, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has been changing lives—one book, one child, one dream at a time. What started as a small-town promise in Tennessee has grown into a worldwide gift of literacy, inspiring a love of reading in over 270 million children in 5 countries.

Dolly’s vision was simple but powerful: every child deserves the joy of books, no matter where they come from. Today, because of her heart and generosity, and with the help of local program partners across the globe, millions of children have turned their first pages, discovered new worlds, and built brighter futures—one book at a time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dolly for showing us how to Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More. Here’s to 30 years—and many more—of inspiring a lifelong love of reading! 📚
