Big News for Valley Center – The Rec Center is Open!

If you grew up in Valley Center like I did (or even if you didn’t), you know this town has been waiting for something like this for a long time. And now, it’s finally here—the brand-new Valley Center Recreation & Aquatics Center just opened at the end of February!

WHAT’S INSIDE?

🎯 Fitness Center – Packed with state-of-the-art machines and free weights
🏀 Gymnasium – Perfect for basketball, pickleball, and other indoor sports
🏊 Indoor Swimming Pool – Includes a six-lane competition pool, diving well, and a family-friendly zero-entry area
🕺 Fitness & Dance Studio – Great for group classes like yoga and aerobics
👟 Walking Track – Elevated track for walking and running
🌱 Turf Area – Ideal for indoor sports practices
👶 Childcare Area – A safe space for kids while parents work out

This facility was designed with the community in mind, creating a space where people can focus on health, wellness, and staying connected. They offer many membership options, but the $5 day pass makes it easy to stop by and see what it’s all about!

EVEN MORE TO COME!

The rec center is just the beginning—Valley Center’s new Comprehensive Development Plan outlines future improvements like more sidewalks, bike paths, trees, downtown parking, and a brand-new park! The town is growing, and it’s exciting to see these long-awaited upgrades finally happening.
