You may register for adult softball and basketball, or youth softball and basketball at the Downtown Recreation Center at 125 North First Street. There is no phone registration. There is $100 deposit required to register adult teams, which is included in the final entry fee.
Attempts have been made to make facilities and parks wheel chair accessible. Transfer points on play equipment, picnic pavilions, restrooms, and community centers have been made accessible. Winston park has a handicap accessible playground and softball field. Please alert us to maintenance needs or specific suggestions to improve our accessibility.
The cost of rental for both community centers is $25.00 per hour with a $50.00 minimum. We require a $50.00 deposit which is refunded if the facility is left clean and the tables and chairs are folded and replaced along the walls.
Classes offered may include, babynastics, gymnastics, tumbling/cheerleading, and jazz/hiphop/drill. Monthly classes include line dancing, tae kwon do, zumba, and yoga/pilates. People are also encouraged to use the parks, the Azalea Trail, Ellen Trout Park Trail and the Lost Arrow Trail for hiking, biking, walking, and jogging.
Pavilions in the parks are rent free. A reservation is required to use the pavilions.
