Community Recreation Center
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
The Parks and Recreation Department and Community Recreation Center have closed to the public until further notice as a precaution against the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In consultation with Southeastern Idaho Public Health, the decision was made due to the large number of senior citizens who use the facility. This population has been identified by health experts as the most at risk.
The Community Recreation Center is a complete family recreation center offering a wide variety of activities and classes throughout the year including swimming, dancing, rock climbing, weight lifting, cardio, racquetball, and more.
