Children can enjoy an indoor adventure of sliding, climbing and crawling in the Community Center’ s indoor play structure. For the community’ s youngest residents, there is also a special area for infants to explore in a safe, staff-monitored zone.
As a new way for community members to exercise and promote rescue pet adoption, the community center welcomed a number of fluffy bunnies into the gym for a bit of bunny yoga in October 2024. Plans for kitty and puppy yoga are in the works for community members to enjoy.
