January 5, 2010 marked the 37th anniversary of the formation of the Josephburg Agricultural Society. The society was originally created to form a committee to build on to the existing community hall. A freestanding structure, now known as Moyer Recreation Center, was built instead. It included a full size arena, gymnasium and kitchen area for catering. The center officially opened on May 10, 1975 and was planned to serve the needs of the people from the surrounding area. Although Strathcona County has taken over the ownership and management of the center, the Josephburg Agricultural Society has continued to add to the facility and support all programs.

Over the years the JAS has contributed to the community in many ways. Just take a stroll on the lighted, paved walkway in Heritage Park. Call your neighbor and enjoy the tennis court, basketball court, horseshoe pits, shale ball diamonds or take your children to the creative playground.

The Recreation Grounds situated two miles east of Josephburg was once the focus of many picnics and events. Many of these events are now held directly in the hamlet. The outdoor riding arena has been completely revamped with the help of a Dow Grant and a Lottery Grant. A permanent covered picnic shelter has been built at the grounds. Funds for the shelter came from a Dow Chemical Community Grant and a Provincial Government CIP Grant. The County of Strathcona also contributed funds. The shelter provides a much needed covered facility to BBQ for various summer events as well as providing a shade on a hot day.
