Physical activity increased across all demographics following the opening of the new Recreation Center
Recreation centers represent strategic community investments with returns that extend far beyond their physical facilities. A recent study of our Watauga Recreation Center confirms this, revealing substantial long-term value that reflects years of careful planning and budget considerations. Enrollment doubled projections, physical activity increased across all demographics, and the center demonstrated incredible community resilience by serving as a polling place, vaccination clinic, and resource center during Hurricane Helene.
