Youth Programs

Our goal is to help keep kids active, so we offer various sports programs for children age 3 through 14. You can expect things like flag football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, blast ball, and many more activities. We work on introducing children to the basics of the sport and further skill development; however, our priority is for the kids to have fun! Also, we have some activities just for fun like pickleball and fishing. Check out our current brochure to see which activities are available this season.

Family Programs

If you want an activity the whole family can get involved in check out our family section for some ideas. Imagination playground, trunk-or-treating, or flashlight Easter egg hunt are just a few things we offer for Families. Check out our current brochure to see which activities are available this season. 

Adult Programs

It's not just the kids we like to see active, so why not get a group of adults together (women, men or coed) and have fun in our softball, volleyball or kickball leagues. We also offer clinics for learning the popular sport of pickleball. Check out our current brochure to see which activities are available this season.

Gymnastics

We have been offering non-competitive gymnastics classes for boys and girls ages 2-18 successfully for the past several years with help from our fantastic instructor Miss Olga. Kids are taught fundamental body positions and basic techniques to help them develop muscular control and coordination, as well as a sense of balance with physical and mental confidence. Check out class times in our current brochure.

Aquatics

Whether your child is a beginning swimmer, a competitive swimmer or interested in becoming a lifeguard, the Recreation Department is able to help you keep their aquatic skills up all year long with access to an outdoor and indoor facility. Check out class times in our current brochure.
