Back to Center Information

The indoor pool and men's locker room at Roy Wilkins Recreation Center is temporarily closed due to a mechanical issue which has resulted in poor dehumidification and air circulation. The rest of the recreation center will remain open as we work to safely reopen the pool once repairs are completed.
