Scheduled activities take place in the gym. A weight room welcomes those 18 and older (ages 12 to 15 when accompanied by an adult). A fitness room orientation is provided by a WCCPR trainer.
“A walking track, open during facility hours, is completely free to the public and we have provided several pieces of hydraulic shock equipment up there that are free as well,” said Lewis.
