Thank you working out, dancing and making music with us during the first year of operating Wylie Recreation Center!  The transformation experienced in 2011 by our Regulars (you know who you are) has been impressive to say the least.

We wish you the happiest of holidays and are excited about offering you a variety of upcoming events and activities.  Watch for Fitness Month fun in January, Kids' Indoor Tennis, PreK Parties and much more.
