Various small programs which operate within the center are important to the community.we have arts and crafts, baseball, rollerskating, playground and the southwest area park.the community is used to us having theses programs operating on a regular basis and it is good feeling to be offering programs that the resident children are involved in.haunted hollows is a smash every year.we recieve a large amount of support from the community . The program is held yearly and is always a hit.the other programs keep the kids off the streets and out of trouble. The recreation council is a great place to be.
