We're not just sports you know!
We offer a wide variety
of activities on a year round basis.
The Recreation
Department is your one stop shopping place for information on
all kinds of recreation, leisure and community events. While we
may not be "in charge" of a particular activity, chances
are we probably know about it. We see ourselves as supporting
the efforts of all kinds of community groups and volunteers. We
then fill in the spaces with additional programming designed to
keep you and your kids busy all year long. Take a cruise through
our web page and see just what we're all about.
