Building Dreams in Wheatlands
The Wheatlands Park and Recreation Authority in partnership with the YMCA, is creating a wonderful new recreation center in southeast Aurora. The Wheatlands Park and Recreation Authority is a separate legal entity created to construct, manage and maintain the new recreation center being built in the Wheatlands neighborhood. The recreation center will feature 2 fitness studios, a cycle studio, pilates studio, a 6 lane pool, child-watch, community kitchen, weight room and cardio equipment. Groundbreaking will happen before the end of this year. The Recreation Center is scheduled to open in 2021.
