Gymnastics class at Robert Crown Center by Lauren Bergman

Preschoolers love our gymnastics, ballet and pee wee sports programs; teens can ice-skate with friends or take a class in hip hop or fencing; adults of all ages are invited to exercise or learn a new skill; and adults age 55 and older can make friends and enjoy new activities at the Levy Senior Center, their home away from home.

 

In addition to participating in our Recreation Division classes or programs, people with special needs can participate in social and sports programs offered by the Special Recreation Division.
