RECREATION RULES

Recreation Rules-Gymnasium

Dependants (Under 18 years of age)
Parents or guardians of dependents under 18 must have a Recreation Center membership before their dependent will be allowed to become members.  Dependents under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times, and under their strict and constant supervision.  Dependents under 16 cannot use any weight or fitness training equipment.  This policy was established for the safety of children and adult participants, to eliminate improper use and damage of equipment, and to allow for easier and more consistent supervision.
