Halifax County Parks & Recreation Facilities
Halifax County owns and cares for several facilities visited by our citizens and rented for special occasions. We encourage you to visit!

There are six shelters of varying sizes available with both partial-day and whole-day rental options. Use the County Facilities Rental Application to reserve a location. Contact information for a rental is located at the top of the form.
The Halifax County Fairgrounds facility is made up of the grounds, which encompass (how many acres?), the exhibit hall, the grandstand, RV campsites, and the livestock barn. The Fairgrounds are used throughout the year for events such as the annual Halifax County Fair, the Halifax County Heritage and Antique Machinery Festival, and National Night Out, among others. The Fairgrounds facility is adjacent to South Boston Speedway.
The Halifax County Fairgrounds facility is available for rent. Those wishing to do so may contact the County Administration Office at 434-476-3300.
The Halifax County War Memorial was designed and constructed to honor Americans who served Virginia and Halifax County in American wars. The Memorial contains the names of Americans who were residents of Halifax County. The cause of death of the persons listed may be from being killed in action, illness contracted while in service, or accident while serving during the time of war, even if not in a combat zone.
Donations to the Memorial can be made by contacting either Douglas Powell, War Memorial Advisory Committee Chairman, or the Halifax County Administration office. Memorial gifts may be made by sending a check payable to Halifax County Treasurer, c/o County Administration, P.O. Box 699, Halifax, VA 24558. Please be sure to include your contact information with the donation.
